Tomorrow is the GCSE Art Exhibition and we can't wait!🎨 If you're in the area and want to see some incredible art, stop by the theatre from 3:30 to 6:00pm. You won't regret it!

Last week we had the privilege of having Peter Sawyer (former SHFGS student) come to deliver history workshops to Year 7 on the 100 Years War. In character, he recreated the tactics of the Battle of Crecy and demonstrated the armour and weaponry that was used, including a longbow demonstration on the field.

"The way that we were included in the activities really helped to bring it to life, as well as providing a fun, interactive workshop. My favourite activity was when we went out to the field and shot some arrows with a longbow. It was exciting and felt like we were really immersing ourselves in our learning."

This weekend our Gold The Duke of Edinburgh's Award students set out on a four day practice expedition run by Zest for Adventure .

Each day students walk around 23km over the hills with full rucksacks containing all they require for their self sufficient expedition (all food, tent, sleeping bag etc...) They pitch tents at the campsite and cook their food in camping stoves. Today is their last day and we wish them all the best!

Our students did a particularly *eggselent* (see what we did there😉) job at creating different historical figures using only eggs and their imaginations.

We love seeing our students get creative!

Our Year 7 PRE students were tasked with designing a sacred space using items from their lives.

Ameline's sacred space was inspired by Christianity and Zen Buddhism.

Luis, Mik’ael and Nathan's sacred space was Fortnite inspired complete with prayer rooms.

Well done, kids!

Today is off to an amazing start! Our Year 7 Food & Nutrition pupils are learning about the fermentation process of yeast whilst making delicious pita bread. Students will also be taking home proved dough to bake fresh pita over the weekend for their families.

Charity Week❤️

All week our students are raising money for different charities by hosting various activities and events throughout the school. All proceeds will go to WaterAid, Lindengate, Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity and British Red Cross for Ukraine.

to see highlights of this week's activities!

Today's tip comes from Mrs Thomson in RAO:

We see lots of students in RAO for lots of different reasons. Many of the conversations start with, "This is going to sound really silly but..." In my job it is important for me to remember that something that may seem trivial to me on the surface might just be the final straw for that student. We all need to be strong and resilient to get through the ups and downs of daily life, but we should also recognise that sometimes we may need a bit of help. Please do come to see us in RAO to discuss whatever mud you're wading through before it gets too deep. Please also be kind to others - their mud may be deeper than yours - or maybe they have shorter legs!

Eco Club🌿

A huge thank you to our Eco Club for helping keep our school clean whilst creating an awareness of how we can reduce our carbon footprint as a school. We're going for a greener tomorrow!
