Byron College GR

What an incredible day at Primary Sports Day at Byron College! 🏅

From teamwork and encouragement to determination and sportsmanship, our students truly demonstrated our CARE values throughout the day — Community, Action, Respect and Excellence.

We are so proud of every child for giving their best, supporting one another and showing what it means to be part of the Byron community. 💙

Congratulations to the house of Hercules for taking first place 🥇

On Friday, our Year 9 students dove into an interactive workshop on sustainable tourism development for Milos island!
Collaborating in teams, they used their recent investigations to propose real-world strategies for sustainable branding. We were thrilled to host Mr. Mihalis Kavaratzis, Professor of Place Marketing at Manchester Metropolitan University, who led an incredibly engaging and thought-provoking session. Proud of our students for applying their learning to real-world contexts!

Dear Parents,

We are pleased to confirm that the Summer Camp will be going ahead for EYFS and Years 1 to 7.
Please see email from Mr Gallagher for more details!

In Year 5, we are bringing our Science learning to life through hands-on experiences. Our students have planted bean and sunflower seeds in our new planters, allowing them to observe the plant life cycle first-hand.

In Geography, Year 5 have been learning about allotments, so we created our very own Byron Allotment in the planters. The students planted a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, including strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, capsicums, basil, and parsley.

Each morning, the children eagerly water and care for the plants, showing great enthusiasm and responsibility. What better way to learn than by doing?

Last Friday we held our 3rd Annual MasterChef Competition!
This year we had two separate assemblies, one for KS1 and one for KS2.

In Key Stage 1, all year groups won a prize depending on the area in which they excelled, such as presentation or taste.

For Key Stage 2, the following prizes were awarded:

Rising Star Award – Year 6

Talented Chef Award – Year 5

Star Chef Award – Year 3

Winner / MasterChef Champions – Year 4

We are thrilled to announce that additional green space has been created for the children to enjoy during lunch and break times, providing even more opportunities for outdoor play and learning. Classes will also be able to make use of the area for outdoor activities and lessons.

As part of this exciting addition, we have also introduced a small garden where the children can take part in planting, tending to, and caring for flowers and plants, helping to encourage responsibility, teamwork, and a love of nature.

A huge congratulations to our Byron U14 tennis players for an outstanding tournament 🎾👏

Special recognition to Panagiotis for finishing 2nd overall after a brilliant run to the final — a fantastic achievement and a reflection of his hard work, determination and composure throughout the competition.

Well done as well to Dimitri and Ilia, who represented Byron College brilliantly in their doubles matches and exhibition games, showing excellent teamwork, positivity and sportsmanship on court.

We are incredibly proud of the way all three students carried themselves throughout the tournament and represented the Byron community 🇬🇷✨
