201022 QEH Open Mic 9400

The QEH Theatre saw fantastic music and drama performances last week.

On Wednesday, the Year 11 drama GCSE group staged their devised performance examination. Pupils are required to create an original piece of theatre in a particular style. Both groups choose to use the ideas of Brecht who used techniques designed to challenge the audience and encourage a questioning approach.

What Happened That Evening? was a piece about domestic abuse and how the labels that we give people can affect how others view them.  In Simon, the issue of corruption was explored through the use of humour and satire. These pieces were insightful and entertaining and showed a range of vocal and physical skills.

The following evening, after a three year hiatus, we were delighted to welcome the return of Open Mic Night. This event offers an opportunity for our pop, rock and jazz musicians to take to the stage and, as always, they did not disappoint!

The audience gave the musicians a warm and appreciative reception as pupils from Years 7 to 13 were represented, performing solo and in bands. It was fantastic to have so many first time performers in the programme including our first ever solo female singers!

QEH pupils enjoyed an unforgettable cricket tour in Cape Town, competing fiercely, exploring iconic sights, and spotting wildlife at Aquila.

As well as being Head of Religion and Philosophy, Zak leads our digital vision. He was instrumental in developing our excellent online learning offering during lockdown, much to the relief of our parents, and is now leading the roll out of our school device programme.

On stage!

Year 11, 12 and 13 Art students went to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford for a tour by Clare Cory, the Learning Officer for Secondary and Young People. It was her first tour since lockdown so she was particularly energised and enthusiastic with the group!

Art Trip to Oxford

Since joining the school, we have been constantly amazed by the support and kindness given by the teachers, staff and other pupils and, above all, by the injection of fun that infiltrates throughout whether they're playing sport, completing a science project and participating in a school play.  No doubt there will be challenges ahead but we're confident the school will provide the support and guidance that has our sons' best interests at heart.
