World Book Day 📚 The celebration started as the whole school came together for a Readathon during this morning’s Personal Development session, a wonderful shared moment of reading and reflection across year groups. We were thrilled to welcome poet and writer Sarah Hehir to our school to celebrate World Book Day, embracing this year’s theme of Empowerment 📚✨ Our KS3 students took part in an engaging Active Drama workshop where their voices were truly heard, exploring the empowerment of women through performance and discussion. Meanwhile, KS4 students immersed themselves in a Creative Writing workshop, crafting thought-provoking and powerful poems around the expectations placed on women. Drawing inspiration from a range of literary forms, their creativity and insight were truly inspiring. A huge thank you to Sarah Hehir for delivering two amazing workshops and helping us mark World Book Day in such a meaningful and empowering way. A special congratulations to 7BE for winning the Accelerated Reader quizzing competition — a fantastic achievement! 🎉👏

So impressed with our Year 8s taking their roleplay to the next level today! ☕️ Seeing them navigate a menu and take orders with such confidence was so impressive. From grammar drills to real-world thrills—our classroom café was a total hit. 🇫🇷✨

On Tuesday we travelled to Hundred of Hoo Academy for our latest netball fixture. 🏐 The girls showed some fantastic defending and brilliant interplay, working the ball smoothly down the court time and time again. They came up against a strong defensive side who managed to deny some excellent shooting opportunities, making for a very competitive match. The final score finished 5–5 , a well-earned draw! Well done girls! There is so much to be proud of from this game. It was great to see such positive sportsmanship, with players sharing positions and some even stepping out of their comfort zones to try something new. A big thank you to Hundred of Hoo Academy for hosting us. 👏

Last week as part of Children’s Mental Health Week, Mrs Love and Mrs Libourne took a group of our students to Lordswood Leisure Centre to attend a Mental Health and Wellbeing workshop titled “This Is My Place.” 🧠❤️😄 The children enjoyed a fantastic morning taking part in activities such as making dream catchers, experiencing a silent disco, exploring VR headsets and handling animals from Creepy Claws🕷️. A particular highlight was Mrs Love bravely having a tarantula placed on her head! There were also plenty of opportunities to learn about a range of support services at the marketplace stalls. It was a wonderful morning filled with fun, new experiences and positive wellbeing opportunities for all involved❤️✨

Back in September, Crusaders Basketball proudly nominated several talented young athletes to the Basketball England Aspire Talent Pathway. Since then, they’ve competed in nine trial days across the South East, going head-to-head with some of the region’s strongest players 🏀 We’re thrilled to share that Sophia has been selected to represent South East England at the Inter-Region Aspire Tournament this half term! What an incredible achievement — Sophia is one of just 12 players chosen from across the entire region. This recognition reflects her dedication, talent, teamwork and fantastic attitude both on and off the court. Selection at this level places Sophia firmly on the pathway, with the exciting opportunity to be considered for the Super Region squad later this summer. Congratulations, Sophia! 👏
