  • DataFace Champions

    Turning Data into Impact: Year 9s Win Big with Insightful Analysis on Global Issues Term 6 Week 1 The DataFace competition, organised by Cheltenham Festivals in collaboration with CyberFirst, gave students the opportunity to explore global datasets on a range of pressing topics such as gender inequality, sea level rise, endangered species, the cost of living, national happiness indexes, and commonly used passwords. We integrated this competition into the Year 9 Computing curriculum, challenging students to use their spreadsheet skills to analyse large datasets, identify patterns, and uncover meaningful stories. They were then tasked with creating a compelling data visualisation to communicate their findings. Our participating group—Eliza, Poppy, Evelynn, and Rozhina—worked exceptionally well together.

  • Head Students and EGGs-traordinary Spaghetti Towers

    Eggs, Spaghetti and Future Leaders Term 5, Week 5 We were delighted to have 38 of our Year 10 students apply for the roles of Head Student, 2025-26! This speaks volumes of the ambitions of the year group and their sense of wanting to take on the legacies that have been established by previous year groups, in acting as role models for the whole school community and supporting the further development of our school’s culture and ethos! Last week, we watched in amazement (and some hilarity!) as they worked in groups to build a tower made of spaghetti that could withstand the weight of a hard-boiled egg. This gave them an opportunity to demonstrate different aspects of leadership, all of which was observed by our current Y11 Head Student team who acted as observers and provided brilliantly insightful feedback on each group!

  • An Inspector Calls

    A powerful performance, a day of discovery — theatre that made us think Term 5, Week 3 Our recent trip to see a live production of An Inspector Calls proved to be a powerful experience for our Year 10 students— not only in bringing their English Literature studies to life, but also in encouraging reflection on important social themes. The day offered a well- balanced mix of culture and independence, with students enjoying time in Birmingham’s Bullring before heading to the theatre. This gave them a chance to relax, socialise, and experience a bustling city setting together. The performance itself left a lasting impression.

  • Student STEPs Awards

    Where School Values and Family Influence Shine Together Term 5 Week 2 Towards the end of a busy few days, I smiled to myself at the wonderful scheduling of our second STEPs Celebration Event on Thursday afternoon. This provided the perfect endorsement of the character development that we are so passionate about celebrating through our emphasis on the STEPs and I felt truly proud to be bringing together such a wonderful group of young people and their families. One proud parent commented that the values of our STEPs could be applied far beyond school and indeed to any business and this is precisely why we are so keen to promote them. These awards, based on staff nominations (and final decisions being made by their Heads of Year!) brought together 30 students who, between them, exemplify the personal qualities and characteristics that embody each of our 6 STEPs.

  • Eco Club in Full Bloom

    Growing Green: Bringing Colour to Kingshill Term 5 Week 2 Eco- Club is back in action this season, and our brilliant team of student volunteers has hit the ground running with green- fingered enthusiasm. They’ve been hard at work reviving the planters and pots outside the science rooms— stripping back old growth and replanting with care, creativity, and a clear passion for sustainability. We’re incredibly grateful to Morrisons of Nailsworth for their generous donation of colourful bedding plants, which have already started to transform our outdoor spaces. Thanks to this support and the efforts of our students, we’re looking forward to a stunning, vibrant display that will brighten up the school environment for all.

    Celebrating Octopus Day: A Tribute to Ocean Wonders Term 1, Week 6 On October 8th, we joined the global celebration of Octopus Day, a time to appreciate these fascinating marine creatures known for their intelligence, problem-solving abilities, and remarkable adaptability.

Beyond simply admiring their unique qualities, Octopus Day serves as an important reminder of the need for marine conservation. Our oceans are home to a diverse and delicate ecosystem, and it is our responsibility to protect and preserve this biodiversity for future generations.

  • Hello Yellow Day

    Hello Yellow: Spreading Kindness for World Mental Health Day Term 1, Week 6 This week, we have been reflecting on the importance of kindness and mental well-being as we marked World Kindness Day on Wednesday, 9th October, and World Mental Health Day on Thursday, 10th October. Our assemblies focused on the powerful link between kindness and mental health, highlighting how small acts of generosity and compassion can have a profound impact on both the giver and the receiver. We explored the science behind kindness , discussing how helping others can boost our own well-being, create a stronger sense of belonging, and reduce feelings of loneliness or isolation. Students were encouraged to think about how even the smallest gestures—whether a simple smile, a kind word, or offering help to someone in need—can ripple outwards and contribute to a happier, more connected community.
