Seb’s Racing Success

30th March 2022Alana Whenary

This weekend Year 9 student, Sebastian Parreira, competed in the third and final round of the Teesside Winter Sprint championship. He won all of his races to secure the Junior Prokart championship title. The championship was run from December to March with rounds 1 and 3 run at Teesside Karting and round 2 at Whilton Mill in Northamptonshire. Seb competed in all three championship rounds, winning eight out of the nine races.

Seb has been competing in kart races for a couple of years, having got his first kart at age 11 after enjoying karting at an indoor track in Newcastle before that. He has since raced in local outdoor championships at Teesside, Warden Law near Sunderland, and Cumbria, as well as a couple of national championships in 2021 which saw him competing at tracks all over the UK.

Annie Review

23rd March 2022Andrew Baxter

A review of The King Edward VI School’s performance of ‘Annie’ 2022, by Mr P Cusworth

Little orphan Annie exploded onto the stage last night in a glorious riot of singing, dancing, music and joy which lit up the night sky to the moon and beyond. After a three year enforced absence musical theatre returned to King Edward’s with a stellar cast and the coolest hottest band this side of Pasadena driving this foot stomping, breathtaking spectacular.

Annie and the orphans opened the first half with “Maybe”, a touching, poignant ballad, leading into “Hard Knock”, with razor sharp choreography interrupted by deranged, dragon-hearted Miss Hannigan terrorising the orphans. From the heart melting chemistry between Annie and her stray dog Sandy in “Tomorrow” to the blind optimism of the Hoover-ites in “Hooverville” if ever we needed sheer escapism from a world teetering on the brink, it’s got to be now.

“Hot cocoa and ginger snaps waiting for you down by the recreation room” – who cares we don’t got no recreation room we can all dream Mr Warbucks is going to whisk us away and make everything alright. “NYC” featuring Warbucks himself along with Grace and Annie charmed and enchanted in an almost unbearably cute song and dance number. But in a stratospheric first half packed wall to wall with highlights it was Rooster, Lily and Miss Hannigan who stole the show with “Easy Street”. Precision timing oozing charisma and comic characterisation. “Next thing they’ll make a musical out of her” declares Miss Hannigan. Maybe they will Miss Hannigan but on tonight’s showing they’ll surely be making a musical about you!

Bert Healy continued the second half with the close harmonies of the Boylan sisters advertising “Oxydent toothpaste” in “You’re never fully dressed without a smile”, reprised by the orphans. For sheer glamour and sparkle and showbiz razzmatazz it doesn’t get any better than this. But something above all else was the sheer heart warming beauty of this story brought to life by this young, very talented and unbelievably hard working company. “Just thinking about tomorrow blows away the cobwebs and the sorrow”. As someone once said, “Tomorrow will be a good day”.

Support to Ukraine

7th March 2022Mrs L Rayne

Last week we held assemblies focused on the concerning events in Ukraine. We know many of our students have been following events closely and are concerned about how the situation is unfolding. In response to this, the assembly focused on the following

  • The facts that have led to the Russian invasion of Ukraine
  • The response from NATO and the UK government
  • The humanitarian crisis as over a million Ukrainians flee their country and the positive response from neighbouring countries
  • The need to find credible and reliable sources that report developments
  • Suggested strategies for managing our own mental health
  • Signposting sources of support
  • The importance of kindness in the way we lead our own lives

We are aware that donation centres are an alternative method of support and are happy to act as a donation centre. We will then liaise with a local charity to ensure that goods are transported to areas where there is need. Any donations from this list can be dropped by students at Student Support before school by Friday 11 March.

World Book Day 2022

28th February 2022Mr S Connor

There are lots of activities going on in school this week to celebrate World Book Day. Students will receive a Book Token in their English lessons and they can trade these in at school for a free book (or use them at a participating book shop).

Our staff are sharing their favourite reads with students in assembly, to show that reading is a life-long passion and is central to our learning and development.

Students and staff are battling it out in our annual ‘Shelfie’ Competition. Take part here – all you need to do is try to name the member of staff who might own that bookshelf. Prizes on offer for our winners.

Our Book Quiz also returns for students – do you really think you know your stuff when it comes to books? Take the quiz here. More prizes to be won.

COVID Update

28th February 2022Mrs L Rayne

Self Isolation:  Staff and students are still required to self isolate for 5+ days following a positive LFT. The advice from the UK Health Security Agency outlines this position:

  • “Children and young people with COVID-19 should not attend their education setting while they are infectious. They should take an LFD test from 5 days after their symptoms started (or the day their test was taken if they did not have symptoms) followed by another one the next day. If both these tests results are negative, they should return to their educational setting if they normally attend one, as long as they feel well enough to do so and do not have a temperature. They should follow the guidance for their educational setting.”
  • “Children and young people who usually attend an education or childcare setting and who live with someone who has COVID-19 should continue to attend the setting as normal.”

This guidance is unchanged from the end of the last half term, and we will continue to follow these measures until the Easter holiday, unless the national picture changes.
