With festival season well underway we like to think it was our very own ‘Chestival’ in July that got the party started! . Held to celebrate the rich culture at our school, this year’s ‘Chestival’ featured a fab line-up of student performers, an art exhibition and food trucks 1/2

Despite a flurry of signings @ChelseaFC there was luckily still space in the dressing room for the Multi Sports Group! . As part of Culture and Communities Week students experienced Stamford Bridge from a player’s perspective and were given VIP access to normally off-limits areas

Extraordinarily ordinary! . Our Digital Media Group have completed a unique sound-based workshop, turning our everyday environment into music. From footsteps & playground chatter to birdsong, students recorded a range of sounds and learnt how to arrange them into original tracks

It’s Day 3 of our second annual Culture and Communities Week. 🎭To kick us off here are some great shots from the Make a Musical Group who have been treading the boards and raising the roof with their own jukebox musicals! A fun mix of music, storytelling, and creativity. đŸŽ¶

Our Creative Communities Group have been exploring how design can bring people together. On days 1 and 2 of Culture and Communities Week they visited the Serpentine Pavilion in Hyde Park for inspiration and then started on their own build work of collaborative seating structures

The Isle of Wight’s alright! . Some of our Year 7s chose to go slightly further afield for their Culture and Communities Week activity, setting sail for the glorious Isle of Wight. Students have been enjoying the challenge of the giant swing, laser tag, kayaking and much more!
