As Covid restrictions slowly ease, local trips at Stephen Perse are beginning to take place again. Recently our A Level geography students went on a field trip to Southwold, a seaside town in Suffolk.
Last week lessons across Dame Bradbury's Junior School focused on spatial learning, the ability to perceive, analyse, and understand visual information in the world around them.
As lockdown eases and restrictions lessen, Stephen Perse has announced the dates of the open day tours at each school in the Foundation, so that parents may see the facilities for each age group and meet staff on site to talk about opportunities, the curriculum and how students thrive at all levels.
As part of the Stephen Perse Guidance and Support programme, Year 10 have been taking the Morrisby Careers Profile Assessment.
If a newspaper or magazine article is biased, it means that it takes sides and does not give a fair representation of both sides of an argument.
If a newspaper or magazine article is balanced, it means that it does not take sides and it considers both points of view in an argument or situation equally.
Year 6 were asked to have a go at writing two articles, one that presents a biased opinion of a news story and one that gives a balanced opinion. See Amy and Felicity's work below:

A personal note from Dr Woodward, Award Manager at Stephen Perse for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE).
Stephen Perse has been shortlisted for the Best use of technology award category in the 2021 Tes Independent School Awards. The award recognises “measurable excellence in the use of education technology by a school” and is judged on the evidence that technology
has had a positive impact on the educational outcomes of students, inside or outside the classroom.
Recently Year 9 Alison alongside other members of the Young Actors Company, a collection of acting groups for up to 18 year olds, spoke to the BBC about the recently pledged £400m for the struggling arts sector.
Following in the tradition of the last two years we were delighted to be able to host our Annual Careers and Guidance day on Wednesday 17 March.
On Monday we were delighted to welcome four London Colleges; London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Kings College London, University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London to give an interactive presentation to our Year 12 students on studying in London and competitive university applications.
As part of our Sixth Form Guidance Programme, Year 12 students recently attended an annual work experience workshop, however, due to the country still being affected by the pandemic, the focus this year was on virtual rather than physical opportunities.
Year 12 art students Sarah M and Lily R visited the Curwen Print Study Centre in Cambridge to gain a deeper understanding of a variety of printmaking techniques by having the opportunity to work with an array of specialised printing equipment.

In the past couple of years, we’ve increased the number of expert speakers coming in to talk to Sixth Form students about the challenges they face in this time of their lives, including topics like drugs, driving safely and relationships. We were keen to try to continue this over the period of remote learning, and the recent talk by Alex from the Self Esteem Team seemed particularly well suited to the current situation.
Throughout the academic year, Year 6 explore a variety of themes that are woven into their everyday lessons. These themes help to explore wider concepts or events alongside normal lesson plans. In the Autumn term Year 6 looked at the theme 'Sticks and Stones'.
We are hugely proud to announce that our U16 netball team has been awarded Netball Team of the Year in the Cambridgeshire County Netball Awards 2020.
As part of their ‘Sticks and Stones’ theme, Year 6 read the wartime novel 'Billy the Kid' by Michael Morpurgo.
Year 6 were asked to imagine that they were Billy, writing a letter to Joe, telling him about what Joe has missed since he died.
