On the eve of the anniversary of the first 'necessitous' boys marching to the school site, then the Gordon Boys' Home, from Brookwood Station, The Bishop of Guildford, The Right Reverend Andrew Watson spoke to every year group about General Gordon, who died 140 years ago. He also unveiled a plaque for a stained glass window, donated to the school Chapel some 40 years ago by St Luke's Church in Southampton. The stained glass depicts General Gordon receiving his last communion before leaving for Sudan.

A show of strength and might (and in the case of Buckingham and Woolwich, deciding which way to face in the sudden death play-off for second place, skills in rock, paper, scissors!) as Inter-House tug of war was battled on the Front Field. House-coloured headwear and face paints adding to the vibrant scene. Kensington were looking to keep the crown they have held since 2022 and Khartoum to add to their streak of three wins. In the end, Victoria and Gravesend triumphed in the Main School competition and Kensington and Buckingham clinched the Sixth Form titles. Great fun had by all!

Just 24 hours in which to audition, learn their lines, rehearse, put together costumes, run through the technical side of a musical and perform to the paying public! That was the task facing these musical theatre students who were given the script for Madagascar on Saturday morning at 9am and put on an unforgettable show of music, dance and acting. As well as performing, students also took roles on the technical side of lighting, costumes and music. The Director of the show, Robbie Olden said afterwards: "Cool, calm and collected this lot. Never underestimate what can be achieved with a whole lot of determination, bravery and trust. A phenomenal achievement to get anywhere close to what these guys did tonight". The event, held in the Wynter Bee Theatre, raised over £500 towards the school becoming a Steinway School. 

A chance for the whole of Year 7 to develop greater self-confidence and resilience today and tomorrow in half day workshops delivered by Talk The Talk. The ‘Talk about Transition’ workshops look at the changes from primary to secondary school, which may be exciting as well as a cause for concern for students. The oracy-based activities allow the 11 year olds to talk about their concerns, how to overcome them and embrace the new opportunities available to them. As well as developing the new students’ oracy skills and communication confidence, the workshops aim to support positive interaction in all life situations and improved social outcomes.
