Students from Year 10 completed their Silver DofE qualifying expedition in the wild and beautiful landscape of Exmoor National Park. The route took them through a stunning variety of terrain, from high moorland to ancient wooded valleys, combining physical challenge with moments of reflection and deep appreciation for the outdoors.

The expedition began in Porlock, with teams heading steeply up onto the moor. Early challenges included navigating through open land, managing steep gradients and adjusting to the weight of their packs. Spirits remained high as groups took in wide views of the coast and moorland before descending into the enchanting and remote Doone Valley, finishing the day at Cloud Farm campsite. That night brought a dramatic weather shift, with heavy rain and a downpour that tested waterproofing, tent skills and morale. However students showed great perseverance and teamwork throughout.

Day two offered more settled weather, with groups navigating their way across the moor and joining the Macmillan Way West. The route provided excellent opportunities to refine compass skills and group pacing. With less defined tracks and open moorland, the students had to rely on careful map reading and communication. The walk took them into the rolling valleys around Exford, passing farmland, rivers and varied terrain which was a real contrast to the day before and a reminder of Exmoor’s ever-changing landscape.

The final day of the expedition was a fitting climax. Climbing steadily out of the valleys, students made their way across the high moor once more before reaching Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor. The sense of achievement was palpable and the groups were rewarded with sweeping views over the countryside and towards the coast, a perfect finish to three days of hard work, collaboration and resilience.

Throughout the expedition, students developed a wide range of skills. They practised route-finding and pacing, managed challenging conditions, worked through physical discomfort and grew in confidence and independence. Many reflected on the importance of teamwork, from sharing the load, to encouraging one another through tougher sections. Others spoke about finding joy in simple moments: laughter at camp, eating together under the stars, or just walking in silence through ancient landscapes.

The weather, as is often the case on Exmoor, brought its own tests with sunshine, wind and heavy rain all making appearances but the students rose to every challenge with determination and good humour. Their ability to adapt and keep going was a real credit to their maturity and preparation.

A heartfelt thank you to the staff and volunteers who gave up their time and energy to support the students throughout the expedition. Their guidance, encouragement and care ensured the expedition was not only safe but also genuinely enriching for all involved.

Well done to all participants. This was a memorable expedition and a true achievement. You should be proud of your efforts. 

Mr Hodgson, Outdoor Education Lead

From 30th June to 4th July, 47 excited Year 8 students and five members of staff embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the heart of France. The Year 8 Paris Trip was packed with iconic sights, incredible experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.

After travelling by ferry, we hit the ground running - quite literally - in 42°C heat! Our first day of exploring included a scenic cruise down the River Seine and visiting famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. With the heat soaring, our coach became a well-needed base for water top-ups, sun cream reapplications and air-conditioned pit stops. The students showed amazing resilience and spirit throughout—never letting the heat stop them from embracing every moment.

Day two saw us dive into the world of sport and music with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Stade de France. Students stood in the locker rooms, walked the players’ tunnel and stood pitch-side like the pros. They also learned about the stadium’s star-studded history, with artists like Beyoncé, Linkin Park and Imagine Dragons having graced its stage. Afterwards, we stopped for food and shopping before tackling the climb up Montmartre to see the stunning Sacré-Cœur - a feat rewarded with well-earned gelato! That evening, we headed to the Montparnasse Tower, where some students conquered their fear of heights and elevators to witness breathtaking 360-degree views of Paris from the rooftop terrace. A truly proud moment.

The next day brought a shift in pace as we spent the day at Disneyland Paris. Students enjoyed the rides, the food and the magical atmosphere. Highlights included braving the Tower of Terror and Big Thunder Mountain and ending the day with the spectacular fireworks and light show. For one night, we all truly believed dreams do come true!

Before our journey home, we stopped off at Chocolaterie Lachelle, where students got a fascinating insight into how chocolate is made - from bean to bar. Tasting samples at each stage was a definite highlight, even if not all the chocolate made it back home to families!

Our journey home took an unexpected twist with the Port of Calais closed due to strikes, but we adapted quickly, rerouting via Dunkirk. This gave us a surprise opportunity to see its historic beaches, adding yet another layer to our rich itinerary.

By the time we returned, our students were exhausted but buzzing with memories, new friendships and the confidence that comes from stepping out of their comfort zones. They represented St Katherine’s brilliantly throughout—curious, respectful and full of energy.

A huge thank you to the brilliant staff team who made this trip possible: Miss Howells, Mr Bradshaw, Mrs Holmes and Mr Darlison. It was truly a trip to remember—and Year 8, you did us proud.

Miss Robinson, Head of Yousafzai House and Teacher of Languages

And…. breathe. 

With the sun beating down and staff and students alike negotiating this record-breaking heat wave, it’s important to take a moment to have a sip of water, reflect on everything we’ve achieved over the past 10 months, and prepare for an extremely-completely-thoroughly-well-earned break. We’ve made it through another non-stop term, at the end of another non-stop year in St Katherine’s Sixth Form. And can I just say, with total sincerity: God bless the air conditioning in the new Sixth Form Block. 

It already feels like months since Year 13 finished their final exams, but I’m assured it’s only been three weeks. We were all so proud of how the students conducted themselves throughout the process, the determination and commitment they showed, the way they built each other up and supported each other after disappointments, and the unwavering respect they showed to the school and the exams team throughout. It was wonderful to celebrate their achievements during our Leavers’ Day (pictured) and Leavers’ Party, and just remind them what a special cohort they’ve been. 

But while a lot of focus has been on Year 13, particularly at the start of this term, it’s also been a very busy time for our Year 12 students. Running alongside our leavers’ events, we had our annual Relationships and Sex Education Day - a huge thank you to Ms Huzzey for arranging this. We’ve also appointed our new Head Students, and we’ve welcomed an array of guest speakers, including Cardiff University, UWE, Bottle Yard Film Students. As well as Sixth Form alumnae Jessica Stanley talking to students about her experiences at London Fashion School and Natalie Stringer sharing advice about studying abroad following a year in Florida. 

And that’s not to mention WEX week, which saw Year 12 students gaining invaluable experience at a broad range of employers, including Craddys Engineering, Vets 4 Pets, Vivid Imagination Marketing, Crockerne Primary School, Riverside Garden Centre and many more. A big thank you to Mrs Fey, our WEX Coordinator, for bringing this all together and to the providers for inviting our students into your settings. A great week all round. 

Another real highlight of this term was welcoming our incoming cohort for our Step Into Sixth Form Day, where over 50 students, a mixture of internal and external applicants, engaged in a range of workshops and sessions; from an introduction to our EDI work, study skills and enrichment and a chance to meet with their new teachers and tutors. I’m afraid the lasting memory of the day, however, will be Mr Davies smashing the ball with such force during our team-building game of rounders that the bat literally exploded in his hand. 

And though the term is at an end, the next steps are already appearing on the horizon: August 14th will be A Level/ Level 3 results day where we help all our Year 13 students secure their desired destinations, while the 21st is GCSE results day, which means Sixth Form enrolment for Year 11. 

The final word for this year has to go to Mrs Weatherson, who is leaving St Katherine’s at the end of this term. It has been such a joy to work with Hannah over the last 4 years in her role as Deputy Head of Sixth Form. She has transformed our enrichment programme during this time making it an essential part of every student’s week and empowering young people to become leaders and follow their passions. She has also played a vital role in our pathways programme, inspiring countless students towards their future goals. But more than anything, Hannah has been an invaluable friend and colleague to everyone within the Sixth Form and we will miss her enormously. We are excited to welcome Ms Wilsher into the role from September, and we know she will rise to the incredibly high standards Mrs Weatherson has set. 

Thank you so much to staff, students and parents/carers for another amazing year. See you on results day!

Mr Davies, Head of Sixth Form

What an incredible year it has been for the House Championship! All four houses — Pankhurst, Yousafzai, Stephenson and Turing — gave it their all, making this year’s competition one of the closest and most exciting yet.

Pankhurst shone brightly with their outstanding wins in the Respect and Resilience Challenges, showing us the true spirit of teamwork and determination. Yousafzai impressed everyone with their creativity and mouth-watering baking skills, bringing flavour and flair to every event. Stephenson displayed remarkable sporting talent and a love of reading that inspired students across all year groups.

And then there was Turing House — consistent, dedicated and always giving their best. Their hard work paid off as they clinched the Sports Day Cup on Friday and the Behaviour-Ratio Values competition, pushing them just ahead at the final hurdle.

It is with great pleasure we announce that the winners of the House Championship 2024–25 are TURING HOUSE! Separated from Stephenson by just three points, Turing’s effort and spirit in the final term proved unstoppable.

A huge well done to Turing — and to every student in every house for making this year’s competition so memorable. Let’s see who takes the crown next year!

Mrs Humphries, Assistant Headteacher

As the academic year comes to a close, we are proud to reflect on another inspiring year for Pankhurst House. With the energy, spirit and drive shown by our students throughout the year, it’s clear that our motto - “Deeds, Not Words” - continues to guide everything we do. We’re delighted to share that Pankhurst House came third overall in the House Championship - continuing our upward momentum after breaking out of fourth place last year. This result is a testament to the hard work, enthusiasm and community spirit shown by all of our students and staff.

As we look ahead, we’re thrilled to introduce our new student leadership team for Pankhurst House. Please join us in congratulating:

• Shay Melias and Alicia McPherson – our new House Leaders
• Anita Mohammadi and Bella Paddock – our new Deputy House Leaders

These students have already demonstrated a deep commitment to our house values and we are excited to see their leadership in action. With their guidance, we are confident Pankhurst will continue to thrive in the year ahead.

Our year began on a creative high, with 10P2 earning a joint first in the Noticeboard Competition. This set the tone for a year of consistent involvement and competitive spirit. Across quizzes, bake-offs and artistic challenges, Pankhurst continued to shine - never settling, always striving.

Standout highlights included:

• First place in the Poetry Slam (congratulations to Imogen Drew!)
  
• Strong placements in the Christmas Card, Wreath and Decoration competitions
  first place in the Respect Competition - a proud moment that reflects who we are as a House and as a school
  

This year saw a marked improvement in our sporting achievements. In Cross Country, Pankhurst teams placed first in multiple categories (Year 8, 9 and 10 boys and Year 10 girls). Winter Sports brought even more cause for celebration with:

• First place finishes for Year 7, 9, and 10 boys
  
• Second place for Year 8 girls
  

Our Winter Sports overall result? Second place – our strongest showing yet.

With Spring Sports, Ninja Warrior events and a strong run in rowing and basketball, our students showed the same drive and resilience they carry into the classroom. 

Beyond competitions, Pankhurst students lived out our values through meaningful events and contributions:

• First place in the Responsibility and Resilience Competitions
• Engagement in Reading Log challenges across year groups
  
• A leading role in whole-school events like Culture Day and the Pride Parade

These moments gave our students space to express identity, celebrate diversity and stand up for inclusion and equality - a reflection of both our house values and the wider school ethos.

We were also thrilled to come together in term 6 with families and staff at our Awards Evening – a wonderful celebration of achievement, growth and community spirit. It was heartening to see so many Pankhurst students recognised for their dedication, progress and character. Awarding Shay Melias the Student of the Year was a highlight of my career so far. In my speech about him I said - "this student is completely different from everyone else in the most positive way possible. This student is special because of who they are, the values they hold and their positive impact on others both staff and students. This student deserves all of the success they have had and all of the success that is to come. I’m looking forward to working with him and the student leadership team next year."

As we look ahead, one thing is clear - it feels like Pankhurst is just getting started. The progress we’ve made this year, both in results and in spirit, sets the stage for an even stronger 2025.

Thank you for your continued support, and congratulations to every student who has contributed to making Pankhurst a house we can all be proud of.

Mr Murdoch, Head of Pankhurst House

As we reach the end of another incredible year, we want to take a moment to celebrate the amazing achievements, dedication and spirit shown by our students across every year group. This year has reminded us all what it means to be part of Stephenson House: working hard, supporting each other and inspiring those around us.

It has been a year packed with standout moments. Felix Huertas was chosen as a drumming role model by a primary school student - a wonderful example of how our older students inspire the next generation. Alfie Hirst’s winning entry in the Rotary photography competition back in March showcased the creativity thriving in our house. Ben Palmer and Shannon Barker continued to impress with their commitment and success in sports throughout the year, while in Year 7, Henry and Cienna stepped up as leaders at the Year 6 transition evening, helping new students settle in with confidence and warmth.

Our Trailblazers - Mason, Oskar, Henry, and Maya - showed huge dedication, by rehearsing and delivering an incredible performance at Trinity Academy. We also continue to celebrate our love of reading, with Jamie, Maya, Melodie, Oskar, and Grace all reaching Reading Millionaire status this year - an amazing achievement that shows real perseverance.

Across 7S2, we have even more to be proud of. Muhammed Noor-Al-Arifeen showed true courage and confidence by speaking at the transition evening - inspiring everyone around him. Xin Jie became 7S2’s first Reading Millionaire and has now read over 2.8 million words - a truly remarkable milestone. Matthew Thomas impressed us all by competing and winning medals in motorcycling competitions - a sport that takes real skill and nerve.

Mrs Mathai and 8S have had an exceptional year too. Plum Marris hit Reading Millionaire status in the very first week of September, setting the tone for the year. She quizzed six books on the first day back (including War and Peace). Darya Saleek-Quch has been winning ice skating competitions and Jarra Touray triumphed in the Ovid in the West Country Competition - proving that hard work and talent really do pay off. In Year 9, Dan Lovell played - and beat - the USA Football team for his age group, an experience he will surely never forget. Elsa Thorpe shone on stage in Our House, the hit musical based on the songs of Madness and Marcie Ford captained the Girls Football team to victory on their Madrid Tour - an example of true leadership and teamwork.

Our Year 10 students have continued this tradition of success. Leah Matthews wowed audiences with her performances in stage productions like Les Miserable at the Redgrave Theatre. Freddie Franklin travelled all the way to Edinburgh to compete in National BMX competitions, while Celvin Barbosa-Goa came second in the South West Athletics Regional Finals - showing just how much talent and dedication we have in our house. Kieran Lyne demonstrated real initiative and independence by taking his work experience placement overseas in Ireland - a fantastic achievement.

This year’s House Sports have also been unforgettable. We started steady with second place in the house cross country, but the Year 8 girls brought home gold. We swept the house basketball trophy, and first-place finishes in indoor rowing for Year 7 and 8 boys and girls meant Stephenson House dominated the competition. All this hard work paid off and we were proud to lift the House Sports trophy for this year. 

At the start of term 6 we appointed our new House Leaders. They will walk in the footsteps of such legendary Stephenson students as Fin Kelly, Joel Kamu, Izzy Healy-Hart, Abdi Yusuf and Oliver Hecker. I would like to introduce Sasha Richards and Bence Sandor and welcome them to the Stephenson leadership team. They have already made their mark with wonderful introductory videos and a brilliant speech at awards evening. Actually, I used their speech as the basis for this newsletter. Thanks Sasha; thanks Bence.

The house awards evening is always the jewel in the crown and the highlight of my working year. This year I was able to award some of the best and brightest of Stephenson House. This was the first year we included a specialist tutor award for each class and reading awards for those who value their literacy. House colours went to the ten students who have made the biggest impact on the Stephenson House community as a whole and Charlie Threlfall was my student of the year for 2025.

It is hard for me to say how remarkable Charlie’s time at St Katherine’s has been. This was literally true on awards evening when I found myself in tears twice during my dedication to her. Her reflective nature, humility and kindness have helped her navigate some significant challenges and formed her into an outstanding and inspiring young woman. Well done Charlie and we look forward to welcoming you to the Sixth Form in September.

Although we came second in the overall House Competition this year it gives us something to strive towards next year - and knowing the spirit and determination in our House, we know we can go one better.

To our students, families, staff and supporters - thank you for making Stephenson House such a special place full of spirit, achievement and community. We’re so proud of every single one of you. Have a wonderful, restful summer break - you’ve earned it!

Mr Court, Head of Stephenson House 

As the academic year draws to a close at St Katherine’s, I’m delighted to reflect on what has been a truly memorable and successful final term for Turing House.

Our Year 11 students rose admirably to the challenge of the examination season, showing remarkable dedication, focus and resilience. Balancing their academic responsibilities with celebration, Year 11 enjoyed a well-earned break with their Celebration Day and Prom. It was heartwarming to share in their joy and pride. We now wish them all the success they deserve as they await their results later this summer.

One of the standout moments of the term was our Turing Celebration Evening - a joyful occasion that brought students, parents, tutors and staff together to recognise the exceptional efforts of our house. Awards for Academic Attainment and Approach to Learning were presented to students who consistently demonstrated hard work and perseverance in their studies. Congratulations to all our winners in these two categories. We are immensely proud of you. 

During the evening, our newly appointed Turing House Leaders, Faria Azim and Ohemaa Gyimah-Sarpong, gave an inspiring summary of Turing’s achievements over the past year. They spoke with confidence, clarity and genuine passion - already showcasing the strong leadership qualities that will serve them well in the year ahead. With Faria and Ohemaa leading the way at house council meetings, celebration assemblies and day-to-day life around the Turing Hub, I have every confidence that they will guide Turing House to even greater success.

The evening was also brought to life by two outstanding musical performances. The audience was treated to solo performances by Carys Weidner (7T2) and Ohemaa Gyimah-Sarpong (10T). Ohemaa delivered a powerful rendition of our House song, ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ - an anthem that perfectly captures the spirit of determination, unity and resilience at the heart of Turing House. Carys performed a moving version of ‘Hallelujah’ by Alexandra Burke during the interlude, offering a tender and heartfelt interpretation that left a lasting impression on everyone in the room. I remain in awe of both performers - their confidence, talent and courage to take the stage alone was nothing short of inspiring. They performed with such grace and poise, reminding us of the incredible talent that exists within our house. 

We also proudly awarded house colours to students who have shown outstanding commitment to Turing House, truly living our values of Determination, Acceptance and Unity. Congratulations to:

Jaihan Singarda (9T2), Oscar Warren (9T2), Ohemaa Gyimah-Sarpong (10T), Sam Oakman (10T), Noah Roberts (10T), Emily James (10T), Gethin Vaughan (11T1), Ellie Stellard (11T1), Oliver Morgan (11T2)  and Bella Perales-Morris (11T2). 

A special congratulations goes to our Student of the Year 2025, Liam Davies (11T1). As Turing House Leader, Liam has exemplified our house values since Year 7 and his contributions to both Turing House and St Katherine’s have been truly exceptional. Liam has represented our school and the house with pride and distinction across countless activities. He has volunteered his time, taken on leadership roles and consistently gone above and beyond to support the school and Turing House communities. Overall, Liam leads by example - quietly, humbly and always with integrity. Well done, Liam - you have left an incredible legacy behind.

This term, we’ve also seen some fantastic achievements in the Reading Competitions with 9T1 and 9T2 claiming first place in the Reading Log Challenge. In the Bucket List competition, Turing came second place - a huge testament to our students’ enthusiasm for reading. First place next year? Absolutely!

Further demonstrating our house spirit, Turing came first in the House Ethos Competition, earning a remarkable 200 points for our outstanding behaviour ratio - a reflection of the respect, kindness and cooperation that our students bring into school every day.

Term 6 proved to be a truly memorable and successful period for Turing House in sport, marked by determination, team spirit and individual brilliance.

In the Super Stars competition, where two students from each house showcased their skills across seven physical challenges, Turing House delivered outstanding performances. The Year 7 Boys secured an impressive second place, while the Year 7 Girls triumphed with a first place finish. Our Year 9 Boys and Girls dominated their categories, both achieving first place, cementing Turing's reputation for excellence. These achievements earned us a strong second place overall in the competition, just behind Stephenson House.

In the summer team sports of rounders and softball, Turing House maintained a strong presence and competitive spirit, ultimately finishing third overall. Notably, the Year 9 Boys and Girls teams both claimed second place in their respective competitions, with only a few runs separating them from victory – once again, Stephenson House narrowly edged ahead.

The pinnacle of the term, however, was Sports Day 2025. Entering the final morning's track events with a 51-point lead, our Turing athletes rose to the challenge despite the sweltering heat and last-minute changes to the schedule. They demonstrated immense resilience and unity, embodying our house ethos: "The strength of the team is each individual member..." In what became one of the proudest moments as Head of House, the day ended in spectacular fashion as Turing secured a resounding victory – the perfect end to a phenomenal sporting term.

Throughout the year, Turing House has gone from strength to strength, demonstrating our core values of Unity and Determination every step of the way. Whether in academic achievement, house competitions, leadership, or community spirit, our students have shown what it truly means to be part of Turing.

To conclude our year, it is with great pride and jubilation that I announce TURING HOUSE – HOUSE CHAMPIONS 2025!

This incredible achievement is a testament to the hard work, resilience, and togetherness shown by every single member of our house. We set out to make this our year - and we did just that.

As we look ahead to a new academic year, let this victory be our launchpad. We will continue to lead with courage, support one another with compassion and strive for excellence in everything we do.

Turing House: United in purpose. Unstoppable in spirit.

Bring on 2025–2026! #TeamTuring

Mrs Price, Head of Turing House

As we approach the end of the school year and Term 6, it’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. Though short, this term has been packed full of activity, celebration and achievement for Yousafzai House.

From our action-filled Sports Week to the unforgettable Year 8 trip to Paris, Term 6 has truly had something for everyone. One of my standout moments was the Yousafzai Awards Evening, where we honoured our most dedicated and inspiring students. A special congratulations goes to our Student of the Year, Gavin Wilkes, whose commitment to education truly exemplifies the values of Yousafzai House.

We also marked Malala Yousafzai’s birthday with a brilliant bake sale, raising over £125 for the Malala Fund. This event, led by our newly appointed Year 10 House Leaders, showcased their impressive leadership. Congratulations to Lara Mohan and Ava Fowler, our incoming House Leaders, and Poppy Sheehan-Batchelor and Minaal Zaheer, our Deputy Leaders. They have already proven themselves by running the bake sale, delivering a whole-school virtual assembly on Malala and speaking at our awards evening. I’m confident this team will lead us into a strong and successful new year where all Yousafzai students are supported to reach their full potential.

Academically, we came second in the Year 8 reading log competition, though other year groups didn’t quite carry the momentum - something to aim for next year! Sports Week was another major highlight, with Yousafzai coming third overall but showing some excellent sporting efforts and achievements.

We are also incredibly proud to celebrate the students who have earned the highest number of praise points in their tutor groups across the entire year. Their consistent effort, positive attitude and commitment to learning are a testament to what it means to seize every day and treasure your education like a diamond. Congratulations, you are all shining examples of Yousafzai excellence.:

• Connor Carkeek, 7Y
• Aurinko Mutsuddy, 8Y1
• Finn Blakeney, 8Y2
• Emily Brosa, 9Y
• Beau West, 10Y1
• Sam Gurr, 10Y2
• Sebastian Slee, 11Y

Although we didn’t take the House Championship title this year, I couldn’t be prouder of what Yousafzai House has achieved. From the determination shown by our students to the kindness and encouragement they’ve offered each other, it’s been a truly inspiring year. I’ve also seen incredible personal growth, with some students overcoming challenges they faced earlier in the year - a testament to their resilience and strength.

Not everything is about winning. Sometimes, the greatest victories are personal ones, and I am honoured to lead such a dedicated, compassionate and hardworking house. Thank you, Yousafzai – you’ve made this year unforgettable.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to all of our Yousafzai tutors for their dedication, encouragement and tireless support of our students throughout the year. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and has played a huge role in the success of our house. And to our parents and carers, thank you for your continued support - it truly makes a difference and we couldn’t do it without you.

Have a restful and well-deserved summer break.

Miss Robinson, Head of Yousafzai House
