This week, Miss Devereux met with some outstanding pupils who have achieved fantastic things outside the classroom.

Congratulations to Veronica in Year 7, who was nominated for her horse riding at Cannock Chase Trekking Centre! She spoke with Miss Devereux about her love for horses and how she has been riding since she was six years old.

We also celebrated a group of talented pupils involved with the Pauline Quirke Academy, where they created and screened their own short films in a cinema setting!

• William was nominated for ‘Regional Best Actor, Best Dancer’, and won a trophy for ‘Best Team Player’.
• Jacob was nominated for ‘Best Filmmaker’ and received the ‘Teacher’s Choice Award’ for his incredible progress over the past year.
• Pupils spoke about their creative work, including a modern retelling of Medusa’s myth set in a high school and their upcoming west-end performance, in which Leigha is so excited to play her role as an understudy.
• Ellie won a prize for her beautiful songbird singing, being praised as an inspiration for other pupils in the academy.
• Evie, Alana spoke about their brilliant behind-the-scenes work in set design and filming.

Well done to all! We are so proud of the creativity and dedication you’ve shown!
