During the first term, Year 8 and Year 9 students prepared for the Foreign Language Translation Bee House Competition by practicing key present tense sentences in Spanish or Mandarin (Year 9 only). The competition was held during MFL lessons in the weeks of December 2nd and 9th, 2024, where students had one minute to accurately translate as many sentences as possible.

During the first term all students have been practising translating and spelling in Spanish up to 50 new words as part of their preparation for the Foreign Language Spelling Bee House Competition. The competition itself took place in their Spanish lessons over the last few weeks. Students had to correctly translate into Spanish and spell as many of the 50 words as possible in a minute.

Welcome back! As we head into a busy six weeks, highlights include the Sixth Form trial day, showcasing plans for Year 12s in 2025, and Year 11s’ Modern Foreign Language mock exams. A new meeting pod donated by Allianz will support independent learning, especially for future Sixth Formers. Sports resumed with impressive wins for the Year 8 and Year 9 Girls’ football teams. We remain focused on student progress, attendance, and road safety during the darker winter evenings. Thank you for your continued support!
