As part of the VE Day commemorations to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War, pupils made medals. They learnt about the different campaign medals that were awarded and also watched an informative docudrama about VE Day by the British Legion.

Words were added to the medals to acknowledge the British values that men and women fought and died for during the war and that we enjoy today. Catherine Duncumb
This week the Year 7 Carnegies listened to first time author and illustrator Kate Rolfe explaining her working practice for her book ‘Wolf and Bear.’ They learnt some technical terms such as ‘gutter’ and ‘foil’ embossing’ and well as how much work goes into producing an illustrated book.

The quad fell silent this morning as the school came together for its annual Remembrance Day service.
Led by Mr Morgan-Jones, with heartfelt readings from Mrs O’Sullivan, four Pre-Prep pupils, and our Head Boy and Head Girl, we honoured all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service.
A British Royal Legion wreath was laid beneath the Oak tree, and another at the base of the Oliver Dicketts memorial tree — remembering Oliver (1979–2006), an Old Holmewoodian who gave his life while serving with NATO forces. Forever in our hearts.
We were honoured to welcome Oliver’s parents, Robert and Priscilla, and Alison and Clive Brown, whose son Tom — also an Old Holmewoodian — is currently serving in the Welsh Guards.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Our U13 boys and girls travelled to Sevenoaks School this week for a friendly squash match.
Both teams showed great effort and determination against a tough Sevenoaks side. The girls enjoyed their second ever outing and came away with a close 3-2 win. The boys had a mixed set of results, with some tight matches and one strong victory, but in the end Sevenoaks proved too strong.
An enjoyable day of squash with lots to learn from and plenty of positives for everyone. Big thanks to all the parents who came to support.
