Performance Poetry in Action On the last day of t Performance Poetry in Action

On the last day of term we held our Senior School Performance Poetry Competition, which was a brilliant celebration of confidence, creativity and expression.

From classics such as If by Rudyard Kipling, The Tyger by William Blake and Daffodils by William Wordsworth, to modern favourites like Snagger’s Pond by Wes Magee and The Dog Ate My Homework by Ken Nesbitt, pupils explored themes from nature and family to humour and advice for the young.

Congratulations to our winners:
1st – Me and My Brother by Michael Rosen
2nd – We Are Going to See the Rabbit by Alan Brownjohn
3rd – Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Poetry continues to play a vital role in developing confidence, expression and a lifelong appreciation of language - and it is also simply great fun, both to perform and to watch.

Easter Egg Hunt madness 🐣🍫 On the last day Easter Egg Hunt madness 🐣🍫

On the last day of term, pupils dashed across the field and grounds in search of hidden eggs… inter-house in theory, but mostly a race to find (and eat!) as many as possible 😄🌿

The perfect end to a fantastic term ✨

Everyone finished full of beans...I mean eggs! 🥚😄🍫
