 This school year began in the best possible way with our highest ever GCSE examination results. The level of improvement achieved, which placed us in the twenty most improved schools in London, served only to create even greater pressure on pupils and staff to make further progress this year. This has led to a fantastic level of input for year 11, not only from our own staff but also through a range of projects sponsored by London Challenge.
It is especially gratifying that, against this background of absolute determination to reach our examination targets, the range of extra-curricular activities has increased in both scope and quality. You can read elsewhere on our website of the achievements of individuals, groups and teams of our pupils across a very wide range of endeavour; you can also find details of the expansion of trips and residentials. Pupils, parents and governors should be grateful that we have teaching and support staff who are not only experts in their own field but who are also committed to providing our boys and girls with the richest educational and whole life experiences possible. |

On the 15th of July, 24 boys from years 7, 8, 9 and 10 whose prior achievement showed potential for A/A* took part in the Super Learning Day, funded by London Challenge. The event, which was introduced by Mark Foster, the world record breaking swimmer and star of "Strictly Come Dancing", was designed to raise their aspirations and motivation levels and to help them to identify more effective learning strategies and attitudes. Mark Foster particularly emphasised the importance of aiming high, taking risks and perseverance. Throughout the day the boys were required to work like Gifted and Talented students and successfully within a tight time frame. They were put into a situation outside their comfort zone, working in mixed year groups and assigned a task at random. |
