A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
Congratulations to Molly A, Lia H, Evie Y and Helena S-C for representing the school at the Richmond Borough Cross Country event last Friday. We are awaiting the team results but in the meantime we would like to particularly congratulate Molly on second place in this event and wish her good luck in the Middlesex Cross Country event next Tuesday.
In other sporting news, we have unfortunately had this week’s swimming gala and rugby matches postponed due to the opposition pulling out.
On Tuesday, a group of students had the opportunity to attend Hampton School where they spent the day participating in the Independent State Schools Partnership (ISSP) Music Day. This event saw over 170 musicians from eight local schools come together to enjoy a wonderful day of music making. Well done to the following tutor groups who are top of the table so far this year for epraise points. In 1st place is 11SAS who have accumulated 629 points, 2nd is 11PON with 612, and 3rd is 11ERU with 536 points. A further well done to Evie Y in 11SAS, Kate W in 11PON and Flo N in 11SPA who are the top 3 individual students.
We have now entered February which is LGBT+ History Month. In line with this, in next week’s assembly we will focus on the theme of LGBT+ History whilst highlighting some inspirational people.
With one week left to half term we encourage students to ensure they are continuing to revise and be prepared for their core mocks in March. After the final GCSE timetable is issued if there are any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Never let me go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Never let me go is a suspenseful and absorbing science fiction novel and coming of age story which follows three friends through their unusual childhood. As secrets surrounding their time at the boarding school Hailsham and lives ahead begin to unfold the novel explores the idea of what it is to have a soul and the innate need to hold onto things lost. It’s a sorrowful and complex novel which criticises the extents of exploitation and the moral implications while debating with the blurred line between right and wrong. It’s a very short yet deeply thought provoking novel which I would highly recommend to anyone looking to read something full of love, identity and friendship but with a disturbing yet crucial message which will leave you changed.
