SIXTH FORM<br />
Charlie Aldridge and Jess Hooker are the latest students in Sixth<br />
Form to receive their Vinspired V50 certificates. This means that<br />
between them they have given 100 hours of their own time to the<br />
school and local community.<br />
Charlie is a familiar face helping and inspiring students at Open<br />
Evenings, umpiring netball matches as well as helping in History<br />
lessons.<br />
Jess is a young leader for local community groups, as well as<br />
being a big presence at Open Evenings promoting her favourite<br />
subjects.<br />
We congratulate you both on your fantastic achievement.<br />

INTERHOUSE KICKS OFF<br />
OUTWARD BOUND CHALLENGES<br />
Last week’s Sixth Form assembly was delivered by two Year 13<br />
students, Shay Newcomb and Will Stirland.<br />
They spoke about their fantastic experiences on an Outward<br />
Bound residential last summer. Fully funded, it was paid for<br />
through the Sir Francis Chichester bursary. Students heard<br />
about the challenges that Shay and Will encountered on the<br />
course, from spending 12 hours alone up a mountain, to<br />
planning and completing a four-day expedition with six other<br />
people from all over the world.<br />
Shay and Will went through a competitive panel interview<br />
process to gain places on the course and this year Shay will<br />
be a member of the interview panel himself!<br />
We look forward to other Sixth Form students applying for such<br />
a great opportunity this year.<br />
SPORT & PE<br />
Inter-house rivalry was on again in PE lessons this week. It kicked off with Year 10 boys’ football which saw<br />
excellent participation from all the students involved.<br />
Despite some hard fought group games, Ali won their group in L band with Einstein winning T band. This set up<br />
a great final which ended in penalties. After nine consecutive penalties being scored, Einstein slotted home to<br />
win.<br />
The final results were:<br />
House<br />
Position<br />
Einstein 1<br />
Ali 2<br />
Drake 3<br />
Nightingale 4<br />
Christie 5<br />
Beethoven 6<br />
Look out for Years 7-9 netball and football<br />
inter-house coming up in the next few<br />
weeks.<br />
