Walk and Eat Trip

June 25, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

On Monday some of our Year 10 and 9 students visited Spitalfields Market as part of their Food Tech course. The food tasting and walking tour consisted of 6 different stops. 

The 6 food stops included:

 Salt beef or smoked salmon bagel (from the old Jewish Quarter)

  1. Chocolate truffles from a lady called Nyanga who is from Ghana
  2. To drink, a very popular hot chocolate
  3. Samosa, Pakora, Bhaji or Paneer rolls from Raj Mahal which opened in 1979
  4. Sri-Lanken street food
  5. Artisanal doughnuts

Our students also explored and learnt about parts of Old Victorian London that haven’t been touched for over a hundred and fifty years to the very eclectic Brick Lane. Our students were able to try lots of different and interesting food with interesting facts along the way and of course enjoy the sunshine!

Sports Day!

June 20, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Sports Day is on Friday, 28th June, from 12 – 3 pm.

Please find below a few reminders to ensure that your son or daughter is fully prepared for the event and that everyone has an enjoyable Sports Day.

· Students are allowed to come to school in their PE kit.

· Ensure they have their own sun cream with them and apply it prior to, and during, the event. We are not allowed to provide or apply sun cream to students.

· Make sure they have plenty of water to drink throughout the day. Students may not consume energy drinks; these are not allowed in school.  The canteen staff will be selling refreshments during the event. Students must have cash with them for this as they will be based outside.  Items for sale (eg. lollies, water, etc.) will cost around £1 each.

· Ensure they have suitable equipment, e.g. sunhat, sunglasses, as well as jumpers and trousers to cover and protect their skin.

· Ensure they are aware of all the shaded areas available during the afternoon. The main area is the new canopy shelter next to the large canteen. Additionally, there will be gazebos set up on the school field that students can use throughout the day.

· The event will finish at 3:15 pm, at which point students will remain with their forms on the field awaiting the final results announcement. Once the bell rings at 3:25, students will be dismissed. Students are allowed to go home in their PE kit on Friday.

Any Year 11 student wishing to attend Sports Day may only do so to support the PE staff in helping to run an event. Year 11 students must see Mrs Aubrey or Mr Hill by to Friday 21st June to arrange this.

Parent/Carers are welcome to attend Sports Day, if you are attending you will need to sign in via the green gates near the car park where you will be signed in and advised where your allocated seating is.

Thank you for your support in ensuring that Sports Day is an enjoyable event.

Mr Hill
PE Teacher
