  • The Tempest

    Published 04/12/25

    The Tempest cast in The Bridge had a fabulous day at The Belgrade Theatre as part of The Shakespeare Schools Festival, completing their technical and dress rehearsal. This was a great opportunity for them to see how a professional theatre works, and they returned for their final performance on the same night. 

    It was an amazing experience for all and  Mikey, the host of the evening said, "The opening scene of The Tempest was a powerful representation of the storm."

    Mrs Arnett said, "I am very proud of all the students. They really showed great team work on the performance day – especially when a cast member was ill. Special shout-out to Lara, who without hesitation stepped in as understudy."

  • Great Blitz Build

    Published 28/11/25

    Students from Year 7 and 8 had the honour of taking part in the city's celebration of the Blitz 85th anniversary along with hundreds of other volunteers constructing the 'Great Blitz Build' art installation. 

    Coventry City Council ran week long workshops which involved creating a cardboard structure of Coventry old cathedral which was bombed during the Blitz. 

    During the Tuesday session, twelve students were given instructions by Olivier Grossetête the artist who showed them how to tape together boxes that would form the roof section of the structure. 

    On Saturday and Sunday the Cathedral came to life in Broadgate where members of the public could help to bring the build to life, before being pulled down to depict the cathedral bombing. Volunteers working along side our students commented on their fantastic conduct and manners throughout the session. 

    Well done to Harriet, Elizabeth, Kadir, Bobby, Sienna, Anoop, Zainab, Karshin, Ava, Soraya, Gracie and Harrison. 
    Thank you to Mrs Downs, Year 8 Senior Supervisory Assistant, for supporting the trip.

  • Navy Activity Day for Year 9

    Published 30/10/25

    Year 9 students were given the opportunity to take part in the following STEM activity. 

    Students were given a realistic scenario where they were lost at sea with broken communications. They would have to make contact with another vessel or land by building a tower with two satellites attached.

    These activities are designed for small groups to work on strategy, communication and teamwork.
    The equipment used is simple in structure (think very large Meccano) but designed to encourage the use of students’ imagination and STEM skills. 

    Group sessions like this will develop student’s ability to work together as a group, adapt, improvise and communicate to ensure their design is as effective as possible.

    Published 14/10/25

    Year 13 last week hosted their annual Science Research Conference, showcasing an impressive range of work across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Philosophy & Ethics. 

    Working in study groups over the summer, they investigated dissertation style questions that went beyond the curriculum, often exploring themes of future innovation. 

    Each group produced a scientific poster and presented their findings, articulating complex ideas with clarity and confidence.

    The conference was an inspiring celebration of research, collaboration, and academic excellence, highlighting the curiosity and creativity of our students. A huge well done to all involved for their hard work, dedication, and the professional way they rose to this challenge.
