Fantastic work in our feeder school

Pupils in one of our primary feeders (the outstanding Ravenscote Junior School) have produced lovely work about their families and made their teacher Frau Mahler very proud.

A special mention goes to Khadeejah Hullemuth, Georgina Wickens, Kiran Sahota, Daniel Key-Nagy, Zaima Hossain, Jessica Thomas, Lara Bass, Georgina Wither who won lovely prizes, but a huge number of other year 6 kids have also produced excellent work, putting superb effort in their writing and presention and showing off their creativity and linguistic skills after not even two years of German.

Wunderbar!!

For privacy reasons, we only display work without photos, but they give you a very good idea of the amazing quality of work, for example by Tabitha Minson, Moses Olweny, Adriana Wilk and Andrew Milne.  Super Arbeit!

Tomlinscote teachers running the London Marathon

Mr Daniel, our very own head of the MFL department, is going to run the London marathon this weekend in support of the children's hospice charity Shooting Star CHASE. After several months of gruelling training (and so much weight loss his clothes hardly fit anymore), Monsieur Daniel will tackle more than 26 miles this Sunday, together with Tomlinscote's Mr Regan and Ms Barnes. We are grateful to their commitment and wish them the best of luck in the race.
