City@6:Tim Otty QC
On Monday 1 March we welcomed Tim Otty QC to deliver the third of our exciting new lecture series. In a wide-ranging and thought-provoking talk that drew on his own specific experiences as a lawyer, Tim discussed the role the courts - both here and abroad - can and should play in safeguarding basic liberties and in protecting minorities, the vulnerable and the marginalised, particularly now, in the age of social media, when the scope for misinformation and unchecked abuse of power and influence is so great.

Girls just want to have end of half term fun
As the holidays approached, and students and teachers collectively prepared to pack up their home desks to return... er... home, a dilemma emerged: how to celebrate getting through this rather strange remote half term together? With gathering round communal party rings sadly off limits, students were instead set a series of fun challenges to complete at home.
The art of persuasion
We have seen great performances from our debaters at a series of recent meets.
And that’s a wrap! We celebrated an academic year of spectacular achievement in our final assembly this morning; from debating success to athletic prowess, new meaningful partnerships and a glowing ISI report. Countless music concerts, drama productions and art shows, exciting trips and language, science and maths competitions. There is so much to celebrate and we remain so very proud of our community here. Wishing you all a happy and restful summer break.
