A dinner table, complete with candelabras was pulled in on a trailer as Year 11s celebrated their Prom arrivals. Vintage and high performance cars together with convertibles, a lorry cab and go-cart ensured rapturous applause from the crowd of students, staff and parents on the Parade Square. After their entrances on the red carpet, Year 11s enjoyed drinks on the Front Field with their parents and teachers before sitting down to dinner. Many of them also won some fun awards.

Last year the Pipes and Drums were playing for His Royal Highness the King, the School Patron, at Windsor Castle. This weekend they were at Buckingham Palace for the National Marching Music Day!

A Levels over, and a chance for the Year 13 students to relax and celebrate with their peers, staff and their parents. As well drinks on the Front Field, there was time for reflection during their Leavers’ Service in the School Chapel and a formal dinner (with a few surprises!) with the staff that may have taught them for seven years. A memorable, special evening for all.

Leaderboards well and truly turned green as Gordon’s School is crowned ISGA HG Trophy National Champions in the Individual Scratch and Team Scratch competitions at St Ive’s Golf Club. In spite of missing two of the team’s top four golfers, Gordon’s also triumphed by not only winning the Team Scratch but also coming in as runners up, both teams beating the next placed by two shots. Jonnie’s -1 under par round of 71 won him the Individual Gross (scratch) with five other Gordon's students in the top 20, and three in the top ten individual scores out of 82 golfers. Outstanding achievements by all the golfers – congratulations Team Gordon’s!

A huge range of interesting topics chosen for research by Academic Scholars in Years 9 and 10, who put up displays and presented to their peers, parents and staff. ‘The Physics of Music’; ‘History of Crimes’; ‘Ethics in Medicine’ and ‘the Psychology Behind the Stock Market’ just a few of the subjects they came up with for researching, along with the ‘Chemistry Behind Chocolate’!

Lessons in leadership for the Combined Cadet Force (Army), who visited the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for the day. The CCF Field Day included a tour of the grounds, a lecture on leadership and orienteering, with lunch in the officers’ mess. A special moment, too, as they were able to view the Sandhurst register of cadets, which included General Gordon’s entry!
