These past few weeks seem to have flown by with all of the exciting activities we have had both in and out of school.
On Monday 23
rd
of November the 2015 Year 11 leavers came together to celebrate their GCSE results at this year's Presentation Evening. This was a fantastic opportunity for all students, parents and staff to celebrate together the
outstanding
results achieved by these young men and women. Students were called up onto the stage in turn to receive their GCSE certificate and a number of individual prizes were presented to pupils who had worked especially hard to achieve their goals.
During Remembrance fortnight this November, the Humanities Leaders hosted an assembly informing others years about the role of women in conflict during the First World War and conflicts since. Congratulations to Sophia Hawkins, Rose Loveday, Ayesha Dickinson, Charlotte Wingent, Matthew Wilcox, Max Byford, Thomas Sherry, Harvey Riches, Oliver Defelice-Hubbard,
Stephanie Hodnett and Katie Twelftreefor writing and delivering the inspiring assemblies.
I would like to personally congratulate Year 9 student, Sam Booth, who performed in the Royal Albert Hall on Monday 23

November. Hampshire Music Services took a Massed Ensemble to the Music For Youth Prom. Over 550 Hampshire school children sang, with dancers from Wessex Dance Academy, brass music from Hampshire County Youth Band and it was all held together with music performed by the Hampshire County Youth Chamber Orchestra. At just 13, Sam is the youngest member of the County Youth Chamber Orchestra. He was thrilled and to have been part of such an amazing event and we are very proud of his achievements.
This year's Christmas Carol Concert will take place on Tuesday 15th December at 7pm in St John's Church, Alresford. There will be performances by Chamber Choir, Choir, Jazz Band, Orchestra, Bassoon Ensemble, String Ensemble, Woodwind Ensemble, Chimetime and the Acabellas along with solo and small group performances too. It promises to be a very entertaining evening full of many festive favorites and I look forward to seeing you then.
The Sport Department is getting ready to host the Kings and Perins (KP) Cup tomorrow. The KP Cup is long standing sporting tradition with students from King School, Winchester, and Perins competing in both boys and girls rugby matches to win the cup! As a huge fan of rugby I will be eagerly anticipating the results and wish both teams the best of luck.
With two weeks to go before the Christmas break, I look forward to sharing all of the news and activities from all departments as we enjoy this festive time of the year.
