On Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd January, 90 pupils from Yr11 visited the Radlett Reform Synagogue as part of their Jewish Beliefs & Practices module within GCSE Religious Studies. It was a great opportunity to experience some of the things that have been studied, and will hopefully aid pupils in their  GCSE exam in May. Pupils used the visit to ask questions about Judaism in today’s society and to learn more about the different ways Judaism is followed in Reform and Orthodox communities. Pupils also got to see first hand what it was like to use some of the articles of faith such as the tallit (prayer shawl), as well as having a close up look at a Torah scroll that was nearly two hundred years old and that had been hidden from the Nazis in Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust.

For those students in year 11 and year 12 who are interested in applying for the universities of Oxford or Cambridge, there is an information evening on 11th February in school (6pm-7:30pm).

Key information about the two universities, the application process and the admissions tests will be provided.

The talk is for parents and students.

On the last week of term, a group of students studying BTEC Dance/ Performing Arts had the unforgettable opportunity to attend Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake at Sadlers Wells. Known for its groundbreaking reinterpretation of the classic ballet, Bourne’s version captivated everyone with its bold storytelling, stunning choreography, and powerful performances.

This contemporary take on Swan Lake is celebrated for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a dramatic ensemble of male swans, bringing a fresh and intense energy to the production. Students were engrossed by the unique combination of humour, drama, and raw emotion, complemented by Tchaikovsky’s iconic score.

For many, this was a first introduction to the world of professional dance, and it sparked enthusiastic discussions about the artistry and themes explored in the show, including identity, love, and freedom.

The trip was not only a cultural experience, but also a chance to delve into the professional dance industry.

Thank you to all students involved; your behaviour and professionalism on the trip was outstanding!
