Whatever
your political view, it is hard to be anything other than impressed by the fact
that a person with drive and a vision for change could be elected French
President only a year after starting his own political movement, En Marche. It
is this level of passion with which we aim to enthuse our students and the
coming week’s activities encourages me of our success. Continuing the political
theme, we were pleased to welcome the Liberal Democrat prospective candidate
for Somerton and Frome into school on Thursday to speak to our Sixth Form
Government & Politics students on the democratic process. Engaging the next
generation in the current political debate is important to us as a school and
we encourage those Sixth Formers who are eligible to do so to register to vote
in June.
The film
festival this weekend at Hauser & Wirth includes Youth Cinema Foundation’s
‘Strange Magic’, written and directed by Sexey’s Sixth Former Megan O’Neil and
involving several of our students. I would encourage you to get your complimentary ticket and support their
enthusiasm and endeavour.
It is a
season of school trips. This morning saw a group of our Year 8 Gifted and Talented
students in the school car en route to The Salters’ Institute of Chemistry at
the University of Bristol for a day’s competition with other schools in the
South West, solving chemical challenges. More on this on our news section of
the website shortly. Next weekend 15 students will be visiting our partner
school Yueyang No.2 Middle School, China for over a week, working alongside
Chinese students and visiting Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall of China and
Ming Tombs among other sights. What a fantastic opportunity.
The
summer sports season is in full swing with cricket, rounders and tennis matches
played this week against Ansford, King Arthur’s, Millfield, Clayesmore, and
Huish Episcopi Academy. Don’t forget the
Sexey's School Sports dedicated site for more details of
fixtures. Best
of luck to students participating in the equestrian events this weekend and we
look forward to welcoming you all at Sports Day on Friday 26th May,
if not before.
We wish
all our Y11 and 6th form the very best in their public exams which
continue to gather pace next week.
