Just before half term the school’s U18 sevens team travelled to Cambridgeshire to compete in the Northampton Saints 7s Competition. As a first run out of the new season, and with little 7s preparation, expectations were muted. However, the whole squad put in a fantastic effort throughout the day, improving game on game to reach the final vs Bedford Modern.

On Tuesday, 6 February, the whole of Year 7 was treated to a special musical event as part of their Music Scheme journeys. In collaboration with King's High School and The Kingsley School, all pupils received an orchestral workshop from The Orchestra of the Swan, the Foundation's resident professional orchestra. The day consisted of learning and performing a bespoke arrangement of ‘Trepak’, one of the character dances from Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, The Nutcracker.
Once upon a time, in the heart of our bustling school corridors, a group of teachers embarked on a mission. They weren't searching for treasure buried beneath the ancient oak tree or decoding cryptic messages hidden underground to date our school. No, their quest was far more profound—it was the pursuit of curiosity.
Old boy Max Blinkhorn, who left school last summer to go to university, has been selected for the England U20s Rugby Squad. He was involved in both squads in their recent rugby matches, as they prepare for the upcoming U20s 6 Nations. The young team lost out to a strong Bath United side in early January, but prevailed against Oxford University the following week - with Blinkhorn crossing the whitewash for a fantastic try.
