For the second season running, the year 10 team have made it to the County Cup Final following their victory on penalties last night against West Coventry Academy. Following a 1-1 draw, the students won the shootout 5-4.  This victory will have been particularly sweet for the students given they...

Year 9 won the league final 2-1 against Leasowes High School.  This means they have now won the league for a third year in a row, winning every game of each season in the process, which is quite remarkable.  Fingers crossed they can go one step further in two weeks time and win the County Cup....

On Thursday 16th April the cast of Matilda had the amazing opportunity to perform and speak to Kerry Ingram.

After a fantastic week in The Gambia, it is time for us to return home. The lobby is full of packed bags, and students who are a little tired but full of stories. It has been a brilliant trip. The students have worked incredibly hard and thrown themselves into every activity and shown fantastic...

Project Gambia - Day 7 Our final day in The Gambia was every bit as busy, brilliant, and slightly glitter-covered as the rest of the trip. It was a day filled with creativity, community visits, and a few emotional goodbyes to the wonderful schools that have welcomed us so warmly this week. The...

Day 6 in the Gambia started with breakfast where students were fuelled up with enthusiasm, knowing that a very important event lay ahead: Sports Day. Miss Seleshe got everyone in a team huddle and briefed the Earls students for the chaos to come. Later that morning we headed to the venue where...

On arrival, we separated into groups and got stuck straight into classroom activities. There was plenty of...

We are officially on Day 4, and it’s safe to say the students are no longer tourists, they are now fully-fledged classroom leaders (with surprisingly confident “teacher voices”) and part-time decorating professionals! After breakfast, we split into three groups and headed off to Bright Minds...

Another fantastic and very busy day for our students here in The Gambia — full of creativity, teamwork and just a little bit of healthy competition!
