To celebrate the long-awaited release of the new OO7 film ‘No Time to Die’, the English faculty gave Earls’ pupils the mission to design a new Bond villain. All entries had the chance to win a pair of cinema tickets kindly donated by The Reel in Quinton.
The judges were ‘shaken not stirred’ by the number of excellent entries received but the prize for the most creative and intricate character profile had to go to Dominic. Congratulations Dominic and well done for everyone who entered and achieved a point for their respective House. You can read his winning entry here:

On Friday, we saw the welcome return of the Macmillan fundraiser and what a fitting finale to Open Week 2021. Our Year 7 students were outstanding, with the standard of baking being higher than ever this year.
The school was overwhelmed with donations of home-baked cupcakes, large cakes, cookies, brownies and flapjacks. Had Paul Hollywood been available, he would certainly shake your hand but instead we had the expert eyes and taste buds of Mrs Narrowmore, Mrs Bryant and Mrs Bates doing the judging.
Together, we raised a record-breaking £508.27 and none of this would have been possible without the generosity of donations, time and support from all. We were visited by more parents than ever and a good time was had. My thanks also to members of the Junior Leadership Team and their friends for running the event and the staff for helping me make this event possible. We are amazing!
Who would have thought that a table of scrumptious cakes would cause such a stir among teachers in a staff room?
On Thursday 17th June, the school held a staff fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Society, who support people with dementia. We successfully raised an impressive £311.60 (+Gift Aid) from generous donations by the wonderful teachers and support staff at our school. We would like to thank everyone involved for supporting a cause that is close to the hearts of many people in our school community. We look forward to planning more fabulous fundraisers in the future.
