BGS achieves ISM award for GCSE Music Performance again.
To mark 10 years of performing Shakespeare's plays at Bexley Grammar School, the Junior Production presented 'Romeo and Juliet'. This heart-breaking story was performed by 54 Year 7-9s set in the 1920s era.
I would like to congratulate the Sixth Form 2nd XI for their battling performance on Saturday at Maidstone United's Ground. The final result was 1-1 and competition rules dictate that the title is shared between both finalists.
It has been a fantastic season and I thank all those footballers who have represented the school side at one point or another.
A full match report will follow from the Captain in next week's newsletter.
Mr Mackle, Football Coach
Monday 26th March saw our whole school Spring Concert take place, with a theme of ‘A Night of Music from the Movies’. The concert started with Symphony Orchestra performing the Main Title from Star Wars; a famous theme which proved to be far more challenging in its original form than any of us realised! However, the orchestra rose to the challenge admirably, and provided a dramatic start to the concert.
BGS students have created BBC news reports in 5 languages today as part of the national competition.
Once again, this year the school had planned a whole host of original events to celebrate World Book Day, on the 1st March. Yet as the most aware of you will have observed, this coincided with the snow days, when the school was closed. So, we did nothing for World Book Day. Article finished.
British Science week is an annual event, it is a ten day celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths.
Congratulations to Alexander Lukov (Y11), winner of the coveted 'Bexley Young Musician of the Year Award' 2018.
The Ruthless Readers have finished reading and reviewing all of the books from the TSBA and have voted that their favourite book was The Declaration by Gemma Malley!
On the evening of Friday 2nd February, a group of seventeen Year 12 and 13 students were excited to meet their Italian exchange students, arriving from Siena. Over the course of the following week, we engaged with these students to develop both our Italian and their English skills. On the Saturday morning, we all took part in a short treasure hunt around Bexleyheath, allowing us to get to know each other. Some of us then went to explore the pleasures of Bluewater, which, coming from a small town, our Italian friends thoroughly enjoyed. Sunday was spent with families - my student, Emma, experienced unusually deserted Central London streets whilst cheering me on in the Cancer Research Winter Run, then afterwards, being scared at the London Dungeons!
