Y12 conducted a vigorous debate proposing that the Progressive Era was unable to reverse the worst excesses of the Gilded Age in American history. After passionate speeches and rebuttals from both sides the two teams were evenly matched. Only some very challenging questioning from the Proposition side at the very end was able to produce a clear winner. Who knew 19th-20th Century American Social history could be so bloodthirsty? 

Year 9 Art students have been working collaboratively to produce strange humanoid creatures from tin foil and bits of wire.

We were delighted to receive news this week that four of our students have been acknowledged after having achieved oustanding results in their IGCSE and A Level examinations.  Each year the Pearson Edexcel examination board celebrates the top learners across the thousands who take exams each year.  In the photograph you can see three of the four students who were awarded the following:

 

Mark:  Highest Mark in the WORLD for IGCSE Mathematics
