For #AntiBullyingWeek, we wanted to remind our pupils to be kind not only to others but also to themselves. Pupils were given festival bands and encouraged to write a kind word about themselves and then share a kind word with their friends. It's the small things. #BeKindAlways

It was amazing to finally see the houses engaging in some fierce, but friendly, competition! Well done to all that took part.
Last week our inter-house football competitions kicked off! It was close, it was intense, but finally Cornwall House emerged victorious in the Y9 and Y10 match 🏆 Next half-term we will be focusing on inter-house rounders #iloveboarding

We are very lucky to have Surrey CC Ladies Cricketer Amy Gordon, based at The Kensington Oval and playing for the Surrey 1XI, in school for five weeks promoting girls cricket. Amy will be working with the Year 7’s during their games lessons! @SurreyLadies #cricket #womenscricket

Heartfelt condolences to our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen, on the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke's work, especially @DofE, will be his legacy to young people, including many at this School.
Inspired by the Moray Badge, for which Prince Philip had worked whilst a pupil at Gordonstoun School, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award challenged young people to serve their communities, experience adventure and to develop and learn outside the classroom.

‘It is easy to assume that a modern state will provide everything that its citizens need. Voluntary service to others is one of the characteristics of a civilised state.’ – Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, writing about @DofE for @tes in 2004 tes.com/news/prince-philip-d…

The chance of a false positive lateral flow #COVID19 test is very low. Tests taken at schools are done in a supervised environment & don't need a follow-up PCR test. Tests taken at home are not. Positive results need a follow-up confirmatory PCR test. gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rap…

Does your child have a favourite teacher or someone in school who always supports them? The Teaching Awards are still open for nominations, if you would like to mention a special member of staff.
You have ONE WEEK left to get your awards entries in! We have lots planned for the 2021 Awards and we'd love for you and your colleagues to be part of the fun! We welcome entries from educators who represent the diversity of our society. #edutwitter bit.ly/3m9Xp5F
