Cracking Goal

The Sixth Form Hockey team was joined by three younger students for their latest match, one of whom cracked in the goal you can see in the video. What a shot.

St Mary's Debate at Cambridge University

We are delighted to have been invited to take part in a prestigious debate at Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge University next Tuesday. The debate is being chaired by the TV personality, former Punk singer and well known foodie Loyd Grossman, which should make things interesting.

It is the 800th anniversary of Cambridge University this year and Lucy Cavendish have created an interesting exhibition on women's education in Cambridge as part of the celebrations. We are proud to be involved and would be delighted to see any supporters at the debate itself.

Rowing on the Cam

Our roving blogger wandered down to the river yesterday afternoon to see the 6th Form rowers in action. He wanted to find the perfect ingredients for a superb rowing squad. Obviously you need a river.

A boat.

Some oars.

A world class coach.

And a cox who's looking where she's going.

I reckon we're almost there!

Subject Profile: Art

The Art Department is excelling itself again this year. Not only has Photography been introduced into the curriculum but the range of other art has also continued to grow. There is everything from observational drawing in pen and ink to funkier new media. I'll leave some of the 6th Form art itself to tell the story.

Duke of Edinburgh

As promised, here are some photos of the Duke of Edinburgh group in action. The weather got pretty wild at times but the jubilation at having achieved what they set out to achieve was all the greater as a result.

The glorious scenery went some way towards making up for the heavy winds and there were some friendly faces along the way too.
