A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 13
It was great that so many parents were able to attend the Sixth form Information Evening this week with Head of Sixth Form, Mr Bannister. If you were not able to attend this evening the presentation is available to view on the school website. We are delighted to share that Luke Roberts was commended in the Gould essay prize at Trinity College, Cambridge. He went to the prize giving on Saturday and took part in a seminar with a professor. Luke was commended for an essay on the poetry of Richard Siken, answering the prompt ‘’A poet is someone who saves and is saved by the dead’. Luke wrote about mortality and/or legacy in one or more literary texts. Another amazing achievement Luke!
Next week Year 13 Geographers are going on a trip to Barcelona to carry out their fieldwork for their coursework. We look forward to hearing all about their adventures and wish them a great trip!
MS SILLWOOD, HEAD OF YEAR 13
BOOK OF THE MONTH
Educated by Tara Westover
“My life was narrated for me by others. Their voices were forceful, emphatic, absolute. It had never occurred to me that my voice might be as strong as theirs.” Describing her journey from a childhood with her extreme survivalist family in rural Idaho, where she didn’t go to school, to Cambridge and Harvard universities, Westover’s story is moving and shocking. With memorable detail, she describes how she sought to form her own identity as she grew to adulthood and the painful process of learning to trust her own perception of the world, not the warped indoctrination of her father. It’s so interesting to read alongside Megan Phelps-Roper’s memoir Unfollow, which explores similar themes. ~ Recommended by Mrs Nowicki, Joint Head of English
