En Goh’s visual learning aids for the blind
En Goh designed learning aids for the blind that were highly praised by
an East Sussex visual learning teacher. Callum Hynes worked closely with Year 9 andYear 10 scholars preparing for this year’s airgineers competition. Arthur McKay led a group of pupils designing a human-powered vehicle. Tilly Morgan designed a bedside unit which impressed the management of BLOC hotels so much they are looking to introduce it across their chain. Wilson Zhang progressed to the interview stage of the Arkwright
Scholarship Award
and we await results. Supported by a visiting engineer, Year 11 scholars worked
on a hand washing station that harnesses rainwater to encourage better hygiene for use in Kenya to halt the spread of disease.

Year 12 performed Jerusalem supporting their study of the text ready for their exams next year. A-level pupils saw Blood Brothers at the Old Vic, and GCSE pupils went to see Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre ready for their study of the play. Quirky Bird Theatre Company performed the GCSE set text DNA in our theatre, watched by our pupils
and pupils from other schools.A Q&A session followed with the actors and the director. Our scholars developed a verbatim piece based on the Grenfell disaster which they took on the road and, during the summer term, they devised a lockdown piece of theatre.
