Students in KS3 (and some from KS4) were asked to produce a small star artwork that could be decorated in any way they choose using any art medium. Just under 400 stars have been submitted and they all form part of this amazing collage pictured below!  We love the variety of ideas and approaches seen in each small but significant square and we would like to thank each and every student for taking part.  Each student has played a small but vital part in making something great – a bit like in our school really!

Our Year 8 Girls rounders team came second in the Hinckley and Bosworth tournament yesterday, losing by just half a point to The Market Bosworth School in the finals.

Well done girls – great effort!

KS3 Volunteers helped out at Ratby Primary School Sports Day!

On Tuesday 19^th June Year 8 & 9 students helped out at Ratby Primary School Sports Day!

Well done to our 11 Sports Leaders who volunteered to take part and make the day such a success!

This morning 240 Year 8 students have been taking part in a ‘Careers Information’ activity.  During lesson 1 and 2 students met with and interviewed a number of different careers volunteers in a “What’s my line?” style format.

Students had to use their questioning skills to work out what each volunteer’s job role was and then had the chance to learn more about that particular career.

The volunteers, from LEBC and STEM were impressed with our students’ behaviour and participation.

Year 10 student Freya Talbot has been working hard this year with her rowing.  As Junior Rep she has nominated one of her team members for not only a Leicester Mercury Sports Award, but also a City Council Sports Award where they came first and runner up!

Freya has also been in many competitions representing Leicester, forged links with Nottingham rowing club and has been coaching new juniors on a Saturday.  She is also part of the team organising a rowing course this summer, alongside raising funds and Junior Lead for fundraising for a defib for the club!

Well done to all involved.

Our KS3 Cricket team enjoyed a great afternoon in the sun on Monday in the Hinckley and Bosworth area tournament hosted at Dixie Grammar.

Unfortunately, the boys came up short in their two games against Market Bosworth and hosts Dixie.  Our second match, against Dixie, was extremely close after a great batting performance from Avraj Lalh and Devonte Khan set them a challenging total, which they chased down with just 2 balls to spare.  Another highlight was Kieran Tillson taking 3 wickets in one over against a strong Market Bosworth batting line up.

Well done to all the boys involved!
