This week we have been devoting some time to celebrating Art. Writing this blog feels very strange, as at school Art was definitely my worst subject. I struggled to draw or paint anything recognisable. And today I certainly would not describe myself as any sort of expert in art. When a painting is being discussed by experts on television and they are visibly animated by brush work or the type of paint used, I am lost.
We have received the below communication advertising COVID vaccinations for 12-15 year olds during January at Stoneleigh. We thought parents may wish to know about this opportunity for first and second doses.

‘Why do we need to know this?’ and, ‘Is this in the exam?’ are two of the most dispiriting questions to hear as a teacher. We want to reply like W B Yeats and say: ‘Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.’ We like to think that each lesson is like those adverts on the television where children stare in wonder at the magic their teacher is weaving and the ‘aha’ moments zip around the room like Christmas lights. We don’t want to face the fact that for some children the ability to solve quadratic equations or identify sibilance in a poem will never be needed as adults.
On Tuesday, 30 November, our A-Level Drama students journeyed to the frosty but festive Stratford-upon-Avon to see some… wait for it... LIVE THEATRE!
