It has been a busy Lent term for the Senior Debaters. Our Year 11 speakers Pranav, Frederic and Ryan were Runners Up in the Warwick District Rotary Youth Speaks Competition as well as qualifying for the second round of the ESU Churchill Public Speaking Competition. Their topic for both was whether prisoners should have the freedom to vote, and their research and knowledge of the subject was evident in their thought-provoking presentations.

We are so pleased to share that Tom (Year 12) has won the final of the Foxcroft Essay competition. This prestigious competition is open to Year 12 science students from Warwickshire, Rugby, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, and so Tom's win is a huge achievement and a clear indication of his skill and hard work. 

Tom's presentation was on using big data and machine learning to further pharmaceutical development, covering and commenting on key issues in science, technology, and AI in society today.

The competition was incredibly strong and Tom did a tremendous job both with his presentation delivery and fielding of questions.

This week saw the return of British Science Week at Warwick. Monday began with a paper aeroplane competition. Pupils were given a single sheet and had to throw as far as possible. There were some innovative designs, with some interesting flying styles. It was a good turnout and the furthest travelled 19.3 metres!

Kissing it Better (KiB), a local intergenerational Healthcare Charity was delighted to host 10 pupils from Warwick, King’s High and Kingsley School who volunteered to take part in a pop up concert at Priors House Care Home in Leamington over half term. This was particularly memorable as this was the first time, we could play music without masks.

On Tuesday, 7 February, over 130 string players from the Junior and Senior Schools came together on stage in Warwick Hall for STRINGFEST 2023. The programme promised an eclectic mix of musical genres, from classical to pop, to film music and folk music, and all were delivered with great conviction and style.
