A fantastic piece of homework submitted from a Y8 student in Ms Rawlings’ class. A creative response to their study of The Tempest.

Students from Y10 took part in the Forest of Dean Mock Court yesterday. Showcasing their oracy skills to a new audience #oracy #voice21

A fantastic day was had by all @wbtourlondon. A well deserved treat for those who met their reading for pleasure goals.

[Newent English @NewentEnglish]

It’s festive fun for us at @newentschool this evening. @NewentEnglish are particularly proud of our fantastic readers.

Book of the Day - Home: my life in the universe. Newent School is delighted to host @MarkBallabon today. He is currently talking to Year 8 students about his book which deals with environmental issues and finding out who you are. I'm sure he is giving them lots to think about.

[Newent English @NewentEnglish]

We had the pleasure of welcoming author @MarkBallabon to Newent today to discuss his book #Home.
It was a brilliant opportunity for our year 8 students and some fantastic links to #antibullyingweek2022. Thanks to @newentlibrarian for organising.

We’re looking forward to encouraging our visitors to get creative with Blackout Poetry this evening. #NationalPoetryDay

A fresh display board has been created with @newentlibrarian for one of our English corridors. We look forward to updating this throughout the year.

[Newent English @NewentEnglish]

Some wonderfully presented genre research homework from year 8 here! A great start to Mrs D’s “work to be proud of” board for this term.

[Newent Librarian @newentlibrarian]

Book of the Day - The House of Clouds. A short story about Tabby who is unhappy about her Grandad coming to stay and even more about having to walk his dog. When she spots something strange going on at a local house her Grandad tells her a story about it. Can it be true?

[Newent English @NewentEnglish]

Fantastic news from one of our department library lessons! Reading for pleasure is so important.

[Newent Librarian @newentlibrarian]

Overheard as a year 7 group left the library after their first library lesson. 'I really want to read this book now - but I've got lessons!' 😊

[Newent English @NewentEnglish]

It’s #RoaldDahlDay! Many of our students love his work. What’s your favourite? The gruesome Twits are unforgettable but our favourite for year 7 is the brilliant ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’.

[Newent Librarian @newentlibrarian]

Book of the Day - Mind the Gap. Mikey is completely devastated by his dad's death. His best friend tries to help, but Mikey is unreachable and the tragedy engulfs him too. He sets out to search London for a reminder of the dead man. A chance encounter at a Tube station may help.

[Newent English @NewentEnglish]

Important advice here from Alex Quigley. We’ve been striving to explicitly use these suggested strategies for the past few years. Frayer models and other pre-teaching methods are a common sight in our lessons.
