Year 5 look for treasure!

We were delighted to welcome Charlie Walker back to QEH this week. Charlie is an explorer, writer and public speaker who has done some amazing expeditions over his 12 year career to date.

Last Friday Year 5 spent the day in Belmont Woods as part of their QE Award programme. They were joined with Year 5 pupils from Oasis Academy New Oak Primary School making a total of 70 pupils enjoying the experience.

Once split into mixed groups, pupils had to use a map and their navigation skills to locate various ‘treasure’ boxes hidden around the wood. Not only were their team work skills put to the test but, as they identified before the activity, other key values such as resilience, perseverance, cooperation and communication were also very much needed to successfully complete the course.

It was lovely to see all the pupils mixing so well and working together and thoroughly enjoying the day.

Many thanks to the staff from New Oak as well as Mrs England, Mrs Beaumont and Jacob Harding for their help in making it such a success.

Onto the next QE Award expedition………The Mendips!

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!

QEH provides a safe, nurturing environment where each pupil is treated as an individual.  The results are confident young men who truly believe in themselves.  Freddie now has a passion for learning and the confidence to apply it which is due to the school, its understanding of boys and its fantastic staff.
