At the end of the summer term, Year 12 Art and Graphics students ventured to Kew Gardens for a full day of recording from observation. The morning was filled with pacey workshops in The Tropical House, The Hive and at the newly renovated Temperate House. They also squeezed in a visit to see the Botanical Illustrations on display at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery.
Students built on the skills from the workshops and spent the afternoon developing an individual sustained piece at a location of their choice. All students were fantastic and fully engaged in every opportunity that was thrown at them.

Students were excited to learn that the House Championship Cup 2017/18 was won by Curnock. The announcement was made in the first assembly of the year in which we also learned just how close this year’s competition was. Two Houses were tied for first place, Evers and Curnock, which meant a tie break was required, adding up the number of first places gained across all the competitions throughout the year.
The results of the Academic Championship were also given. Patterson and Evers were in third and fourth place. Curnock took first place, just 8 points ahead of Davis.
Congratulations also to Patterson House who won the Sports Shield and to and to Evers who won the Citizenship Shield.

With nearly all GCSEs now being graded on the 9-1 scale, there was always uncertainty as to how the results would pan out, but on comparable measures from previous years, new records have been set.
40% of all grades achieved were at the equivalent of the old A grade or better and an amazing 216 grade 9s were awarded, with all subjects across the curriculum reaching this new gold standard mark. 84% of students gained at least a grade 4 in both English and Maths, ensuring that they can smoothly progress to further study, with all doors open to them.
Of the 240 students in the cohort, 30% gained at least eight grades at 9-7, the new A* & A grade range. Phoebe Cowhig achieved nine grade 9s, with Ellen Grace just one behind her. A further seven students gained six grade 9s: Lois Ryan, Lorien Carter, Alex Morrison, Joe McLaughlin, Josh Prout, Sophie Williams and Emma James.
Most importantly, initial analysis suggests that the progress made by all students from when they started with us in Year 7 is the highest we have achieved and this cohort deserve to be immensely proud of their achievements. Once again, the hard work and dedication of the students, supported by their parents and their teachers, has paid dividends and a record number of Year 11s from St Bart’s, to be joined by many students from other schools, will be starting their sixth form studies here in two weeks’ time.
