Year 8 RE students had a tour of Westminster Abbey, with a focus on Christian Life and Worship. Students explored how symbols help Christians to worship and live the Christian life.
They learned about how symbolic objects, actions and images are used in baptism, marriage and funerals. They were especially fascinated by how many Monarchs and other Key figures are buried here!
Congratulations to our Year 7 students on successfully completing the Challenge Mentoring Programme in partnership with Linklaters law firm and Challenge Partners.
It was wonderful to share the experience with so many family members attending the celebration event at Silk Street on Wednesday 5th December. Ms K Lloyd
Well done to all of the competitors who took part in ‘Duke’s Got Talent 2018’. We witnessed an amazing evening of talent that included dance, spoken word poetry, original compositions, rap, musicianship and stand up comedy. The competition was tight but after much wrangling the Heads of House unanimously awarded Naphtali (Wallis House) first place for his incredible dance piece – a real crowd-pleaser. Second place went to Ubaidul (Tull House) who stunned the audience with an emotional and heartfelt rap. Third place was shared equally by Filip (King House) for his amazing stand up routine, Weronika (Adkins House) for her incredible self-penned song and Alice (Byrne House) for her excellent piece of spoken word poetry.
For the third consecutive year, School Council members assembled food hampers to present to the elderly within our community. All members of the academy were encouraged to donate non-perishable food items, shoe boxes and gift wrapping to council members. Council members have been instrumental in putting up posters, speaking directly to their year groups to promote the project and have also assisted in collecting food donations from tutor groups. Special thanks to Pearl Davis and Amina Khan, Parent Governors, for their time, support and donations.
