Dr Tedd has continued setting Astronomical Challenges during the Covid-19 school closure period. This week he has challenged girls to take their very own Star Trail photograph.
Mr Devey, our intrepid Geography teacher, who is a dab hand at photography took this beautiful picture last Friday. You can see the star trails around the pole star Polaris, a meteor trail and the different colours of the stars reflecting their surface temperatures.
Huge congratulations to Barnaby Lenon CBE, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Tes Schools Awards!
When we were not out on trips, our pupils were attending lessons with their exchange partners in our partner school, the Gymnasium Oldenfelde in Hamburg-Rahlstedt. It was fascinating to see the many differences between the English and German school systems.
From the very first day to the last, we found ourselves entirely submerged in both modern and ancient Greek culture, from participating in a couple of chaotic dances to being taught (and quizzed) on different objects we hunted for in the museums.
If you were expecting a serious, well-structured debate at this year’s Easter debate, you were in for a surprise. What unfolded was less of a formal argument and more of a theatrical masterpiece – complete with flying chocolate, wild accusations and a speaker who somehow turned it into a human rights campaign for sugar.
