Huge congratulations to our Year 7 boys who secured their first league win with an outstanding victory! Despite tough conditions with heavy rain and strong winds on the 3G, the team stuck together and dug deep. After a brilliant opening goal, the boys found their rhythm and the goals kept coming. Fantastic debuts from Oli B and Lucas D helped keep the team composed and positive. Special mentions to Jude T for a defensive masterclass and to Blake P for some excellent saves. Thanks also to Charlie B and Finley S for running the line. Brilliant performance onto the next! Well done. Mr Thomson

Year 9 Boys Reach County Cup Semi-Finals The Year 9 boys football team travelled to the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground in Wootton Bassett to face Malmesbury School in the quarter-final of the County Cup. From kick-off, the conditions were extremely challenging as heavy rain poured throughout the entire match. Despite this, the boys showed great determination and resilience. We made an excellent start, taking the lead with a simple ball over the top of the defence. Taylyn showed real strength and composure to finish confidently and make it 1–0. The game remained tight, with both teams creating chances, but it was Taylyn again who doubled our lead with a superb free kick. His powerful, swerving strike deceived the goalkeeper and gave us a 2–0 advantage going into half-time. While we had the better of the first half, Malmesbury fought back strongly after the break, scoring twice to level the game at 2–2 and looking the stronger side as full time approached. Extra time followed, with Malmesbury continuing to apply pressure, while we had a few half chances on the counter-attack. Neither team could find a winner, and the match went to penalties. The boys held their nerve, winning the shootout 3–0. Taylyn, George and Mason all converted their penalties confidently, while Harvey was outstanding in goal, making two excellent low saves to his right and putting enough pressure on the remaining taker, who missed the target. A fantastic team performance in difficult conditions, and a brilliant result as we progress to the County Cup semi-finals. Well done, boys! Mr Lawrence

The latest Golden Ticket draw has taken place. Winners will receive their experience whe we return after 1/2 term.

A group of our Year 9 students enjoyed a fantastic cultural day out in Bristol, exploring a range of galleries and museums across the city. The day began at the Arnolfini Gallery, where students engaged with the work of artist Emma Talbot, before heading to M Shed to learn about Bristol's rich social and industrial history. We then visited Spike Island to experience the largest solo exhibition to date by Nigerian-British artist, filmmaker and DJ Olukemi Lijadu. Our final stop was Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, where despite the rain students thoroughly enjoyed exploring the diverse and inspiring exhibitions on offer. The students were impeccably behaved throughout the day and represented the school with real pride. It was a memorable experience and a wonderful opportunity for them to see and engage with art and culture beyond the classroom.

Last week our Golden Ticket winners and Project 9 students had the fantastic opportunity to work alongside glass artist, Alex Compton, to create a mini stained glass window. Students learnt how to score and cut glass, how to melt "stringers" using a flame, and how to assemble their pieces into a flower meadow inspired composition. Alex has taken the mini glass masterpieces to be fired in her glass kiln - standby for future pictures on how these turn out once fired! Great work from all students involved, keep earning those Golden Tickets!

The year 9 art trip is on its way back and should arrive at the Acadmey at approx 6:45pm.
