In order to fulfil our promise to create enriching opportunities for our pupils, the English Faculty have invited the production team from Katch 22, to perform 'Macbeth'. Y10 watched the performance as they are currently studying the play in preparation for the summer exams. This opportunity allows pupils to see Shakespeare in action and covers 20% of their English Literature GCSE. 

The actors were able to draw out key themes, characters and context for pupils with the Q&A session afterwards. The boys asked some insightful questions and gained some useful interpretations for their revision.

We would like to congratulate our Year 8 pupils for the mature and proactive way they have taken responsibility for their own learning by engaging in catch-up sessions, during Monday morning form-time. Those who have engaged in catch-up sessions are showing real commitment to improving their understanding and closing gaps in knowledge. The use of carefully tailored video content ensures that each pupil can revisit key concepts at their own pace, helping to build confidence and strengthen their skills. Just as importantly, their participation highlights a clear understanding of the value of strong school attendance and the positive impact it has on academic success. This dedication and independence are excellent habits that will continue to help develop our pupils to become resilient, confident and successful individuals.
