What a great way to end the summer term with a whole school assembly. Students received awards for achievement and attendance and our musician Jacob Chapman entertained us.

This morning we hosted our Sports Awards 2019 event, our guest speaker Mr Bobby White, London 2012 Handball Olympian, presented our students with their awards. Thank you to our PE staff who organised the event and to the Friends of SHS (FOSH) who raised funds for the trophies.

Last night our Year 13 Students held their Summer Ball at Manor of all events, Henley. The evening was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all that attended.

This morning students who had been nominated by their heads of year for high achievement and progress, and their parents joined us for a Celebration Breakfast in Lilies.

Following a successful trading window from the Bright Ideas team in the Tycoon Enterprise competition, I am pleased to announce the boys finished 5th nationally in the KS3/4 category, narrowly missing out on the final which was held at Buckingham Palace. Despite the misfortunate of missing out on the final, the boy’s efforts were noticed by the Tycoon Team who asked them to attend #Entfest. This is a festival organised to celebrate and recognise young entrepreneurs across the country, and gave the boys a chance to sell and be recognised for producing the products they had made on a market stall.

Yesterday students from Stowmarket High School had the opportunity to attend the STEM Big Bang Fair at West Suffolk College. There was so much going on at the event - from shows to workshops where students could get hands-on with engineering and technology. #stem #suffolk #scienceisfun

Some brilliant performances saw our Year 8 girls qualify for the national competition in Leicester on Friday. Unbelievably short notice was given but we managed to find a way to get the girls to the competition, in which they won one match, lost one and drew one, but by the finest of margins. They beat the only other state school there, and held their own against very strong privately educated girls. Well done to Amelie Stride, Ruby Elwood, Milly Lemar, Chanel Widlake-Baugh, Maddie Chenery, Evie Mckane, Ella Markwell, Angel Calebio, Eleanor Watts and Poppy Nunn.

A screening weekend was held on the 6th and 7th of July 2019 at Stowmarket High School in Stowmarket, Suffolk. 203 local young people were screened over the course of the two days, which were held in memory of Lily Webster.

The MFL team took Year 8 students who have opted for French or German next year, along with some Year 10 students who had worked especially hard for their Pre exams, to Great Finborough for a team-building activity day. Great fun was had by all
