Pizza and football On a sunny Friday April evening, the students from School House enjoyed a football and pizza social on the MUSA. This is an annual event which, this year, was enjoyed by over sixty students. It was a perfect way to relax at the end of a busy week and bid good luck to Fifth Year and Upper Sixth students as they prepared to go on exam leave. Nineteen groups completed a challenging Bronze Award training expedition in April. It proved to be a steep learning curve but good preparation for the assessed expedition to the Marlborough Downs later in the term. Duke of Edinburgh expeditions Quinn, David and Ben travelled to the regional finals of the Modern Foreign Language spelling bee at Southampton University on 2 May. They valiantly spelled away in German with the clock ticking. Congratulations to them all and especially to David who secured a spot in the final which took place on 1 July in Cambridge.
