Well done to all year 8-10 students who took part in our Tackling Misogyny PSHE Day. Students were very mature and respectful when listening to each other's views and understanding their role to help create equality for all.

As part of our commitment to enrich the lives of our students and to further their understanding of key historical
events, students participated in a digital education programme from the Holocaust Educational Trust that combines digital eyewitness testimony with virtual reality, this
revolutionises access to survivor testimony and provides an invaluable opportunity for children to learn about
the Holocaust.

Our choir and orchestra joined with several other Harlow secondary schools at Harlow Playhouse, in a fantastic event organised by Essex Music Service.

The students had an amazing day performing alongside other young musicians, sharing their music with local primary schools during the day and then performing again for their families.

A wonderful opportunity to perform on stage, make new memories, build confidence and make music together.

Well done to all our incredible musicians!
