“Recently I attended The Civic Centre to celebrate Awards for The Rotary Club Photography Competition with our excellent young photographers. We were presented Awards by The Mayor of Swindon and Judges of the Competition.
Josh Redhead came 1st in the Intermediate Group( 11-13 years) of our Rotary Club Young Photography Competition and went forward to the District Rotary Competition, where he was placed 2nd.- which is fantastic!
Noah Jackson-Collier came Third place at the Young Photographer Prize in Senior ​Category 14–17-year-olds.
A pleasure to see our students doing so well. Look forward to next year's Competition.”

Take a look at some year 8 in their English lesson today with Mrs Thorpe.
Their homework was to develop their own contemporary production ideas for Romeo and Juliet and then present them back to class. This was originally focused on the vocabulary "contemporary" and then we linked it to our learning of the play.

Great work guys!
