Remembrance Day

As we approach Remembrance Day, it’s important to remember all those affected by war and conflict, both in the past and present.

We can help remember through reading, both fiction and non-fiction. You can explore these books and more in the Library.

The Number Twenty

Adam F (sixth form) became part of a band back in summer 2022.

A few of his friends, Nathan B, Luca B and Harry A asked if he would join them and learn the guitar to play in the Christmas school concert.

He took on this challenge and subsequently the band became known as The Number Twenty.

They have been going from strength to strength, this week being record of the week on a local Radio station (City Sounds- based in Chelmsford),and being asked to be interviewed next week Wednesday on one of the DJ’s shows (Paul Dupree).

They have played numerous open mic nights, gigs and are playing at Chinnery’s tomorrow night for the 4th time.

They have been in the recording studio and their new single is out next Friday on Spotify called False Confidence. It would be great to get the support of the school and pupils.

Hopeworx

The Hopeworx Food Hub is a local charity which runs a food bank to provide emergency food parcels to help those who find themselves in a crisis. They also collect daily surplus food from supermarkets and other outlets and coordinate collection by other charities which, in turn, provide support to families in need.

Hopeworx have often helped a number of families within our school community and are always looking for donations, especially at this time of year. In particular, they provide approximately 100 Christmas Hampers to local families, please see the list of items below they would like to collect.

If you would like to make a donation, you can either take items directly to their centre at 33 Brook Road, Rayleigh, SS6 7XJ or Pupil Services, by the 5th of December.
