In English, Year 7 were applying their knowledge on ballad poetry to compare literary ballads to modern pop ballads-focusing on "ballad of a homeschooled girl" by Olivia Rodrigo to establish any similarities with the literary features used. Great work Yr 7!

Year 7 were challenged to write a story in just six words, inspired by Hemingway’s famous six-word story: For Sale: Baby Shoes. Never Worn.
We voted for our favourites & the clear winner was George B with his intriguing story.
Lost keys. Door opened. Adventure begins.

And so, the 2023 Christmas Poetry Competition is closed. Some wonderful examples of creative, humorous and empathetic writing. And the prize? Being read aloud in front of the whole school at our end-of-term service. Who will it be?

World Book Day 2023! Each house was assigned a genre of Shakespeare plays as their costume inspiration, and the ideas flowed. Alongside Kings and Knights, the fairies and mechanicals of A Midsummer Night's Dream, we also admired the ship from The Tempest!

Year 7 have been working on persuasive speeches about aspects of school they would like to change. They enjoyed having the chance to give their opinion to Mr Burke and to hear his response.
Here is Sid S trying to persuade Mr Burke that homework should be banned!

A truly magical theatre outing for the whole of Year 7. We laughed, cheered and booed our way through The Snow Queen. #SECEnglish #SECLearning
Our Year 10 Drama and Year 11 English Literature students would agree that “To enter a theatre for a performance is to be introduced into a magical space, to be ushered into the sacred arena of the imagination”. Great trip! #SECEnglish #SECDrama #SECBigIdeas
