Saracens High-Flyers!

Our pupils enjoyed the exhilarating sensation of gliding at Wycombe Air Park. They absolutely loved the day, with several expressing a keen interest in pursuing aviation careers and every single one eager to take to the skies again.

We were warmly welcomed to the airfield by Roger Gault, an experienced, retired pilot who now mentors young people. Roger has established a wonderful, fully funded scholarship and apprenticeship programme to support ambitious young pupils hoping to become pilots, and he kindly shared helpful resources while patiently answering all of our pupils’ questions.

The dedicated staff at the gliding centre were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Having visited this location for four years now, we knew we were in safe hands and knew exactly what to expect. It was an inspiring experience for everyone, and we are already looking forward to repeating this highly successful trip next year.

T Level Digital Insights Day

Our Saracens High School Business and Digital T Level students recently visited Middlesex University for an inspiring T Level Insights Day.

The day challenged year 12 T Level students to think like a real marketing team, combining theory with a practical group project. Working with an established brand, they researched the market, identified a gap, and developed a new product concept before presenting their ideas using the marketing mix in true Dragon’s Den style in a university lecture hall to a panel of judges.

The creativity on display was incredible, with pitches including:

  • A caffeine-free Red Bull
  • Customisable gaming controllers for Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch
  • A LEGO Michael Jackson set
  • A Prada skincare range

Congratulations to the Prada group, who were awarded 1st place for their outstanding presentation. The judges praised their well-justified ideas, maturity, and quality of communication throughout the challenge.

Overall, it was fantastic to see our students collaborate, think creatively, and confidently present their ideas. Experiences like these help develop the transferable skills that employers and universities value, while giving students a real insight into university-style learning.

A huge thank you to the team at Middlesex University for delivering such an engaging and inspiring experience. We look forward to more opportunities to work together in the future.

Year 11

Year 11 finished a busy year with a bang!

After months, years even, of hard work and Making Memories visits, they completed period 7 interventions, mock exams, the GCSE success fair and intensive revision sessions. Then came the big hat trick:  GCSE exams, leavers’ assembly & clap-off, and the prom!

It was a pleasure to welcome everyone back for  the sixth form taster day and to see our young people mixing with external applicants as they attended sample lessons and got a taste of what life in Saracens Sixth Form will be like.

Well done Year 11 and enjoy the long summer holidays! We’re looking forward to celebrating in school with you on the morning of Thursday 20th August for GCSE results day.

Social Women’s Rugby

The HER Rugby Social programme is aimed at bringing together women (18+) from across north London and Hertfordshire to network and socialise with likeminded people, all brought together by the power of sport. No rugby experience is needed, and we will be developing touch rugby skills before enjoying some competitive fun through games.

The programme is completely free and runs every Thursday 6.30-7.30pm, until the 23rd July at Mill Hill Rugby Club (just round the corner from StoneX Stadium).

If anyone is interested, they are welcome to sign up via the following link:

Young Enterprise

A huge congratulations to Tyler for his fantastic entrepreneurial spirit and generosity.

As part of the Young Enterprise scheme, Tyler (Year 13) launched his own business selling hoodies, managing to generate an impressive profit of nearly £470. Demonstrating true leadership and social responsibility, Tyler has kindly chosen to donate £100 of his proceeds to War Child, a fantastic charity dedicated to supporting children affected by conflict.

We are incredibly proud of Tyler’s hard work, business acumen, and desire to make a positive difference in the world!

Youth Theatre Festival

On Thursday 2nd July, Saracens Drama club went to the Clarion School to perform in the Barnet Youth Theatre Festival. Over the past few months, we had been writing our own short comedy and, after school, we had the opportunity to perform in the competition. One of our actors describes the experience:

“I really enjoyed this experience and, while we didn’t come first, I had a lot of fun. I would like to thank Mr Edwards and Ms Nicoll for this incredible opportunity and for hosting the Drama club.” 
Francis K, 7 Alphonsi

Year 7 Beach Trip

The whole of Year 7 enjoyed a day at the beach in stunning summer sunshine!

Our pupils had an incredible day on the sandy beach at Walton-on-the-Naze. Here’s what a couple of the children made of the trip:

“I really loved the beach trip. It was so fun. We were able to go into the water and play games like volleyball”; Oscar M, 7 Alphonsi

“The beach trip was so fun! It was properly the best trip we have been to. I wish I could go again”; Kye F, 7 Alphonsi

This year group have bonded so well in their first year at Saracens High and it was a total pleasure to give them this opportunity to play together and enjoy the British seaside!

Barnet Athletics Championships

On Tuesday 7th July, pupils from Years 7 to 10 represented Saracens High School at the annual Barnet Athletics Championships. Competing in events including the 100m, javelin, high jump and relay, our athletes performed brilliantly on a scorching hot day. They truly did us proud, demonstrating our school values through their superb conduct and performances.

A massive well done to everyone who dedicated themselves to attending athletics club every week to improve their running, jumping, and throwing.

Congratulations to our fantastic medal winners:

  • GOLD: Y10 Girls 4 x 100m Relay (Serine H, Grace K, Solace U, Shania I); Lara A (Y9 Girls 300m); Serine H (Y10 Girls High Jump)

  • SILVER: Solace U (Y10 Girls Shot & 300m); Mohey Z (Y8 Girls 200m); Madison S (Y9 Girls Hurdles); Ayah L (Y9 Girls Shot); Sofiane N (Y10 Boys 400m)

Thank you to all the staff and parents who supported the team at our ‘home stadium’, StoneX!

D of E Gold

Congratulations to our sixth form adventurers for completing their four-night D of E Gold expedition in the Brecon Beacons. A couple of the successful explorers reflected on their experience:

“During our Gold DofE expedition, we went to the Brecon Beacons in Wales for a week. For the 4 days during which we were being assessed, we used maps and compasses to navigate from campsite to campsite. We really enjoyed ourselves, and the incredible views which surrounded us whilst we walked made it even better. One of the downsides were the blisters which inevitably made an appearance, however a few blister plasters soon solved that issue! The whole experience was extremely fun and the Domino’s Pizza which we had on the last night was a wonderful reward!”
Holly, Year 12

“There were no other strong feelings than pride and accomplishment when I was told we passed our Gold expedition! I found it to be the most memorable, enjoyable, yet physically demanding Duke of Edinburgh experience I have ever had. Pushing aside the countless times we as a team ‘purposefully’ detoured into forests…this expedition was undoubtedly the most rewarding; thanks to Miss Edwards as well as the amazing teachers who volunteered their time to support us, it was a guaranteed success!”
Vera, Year 12

All that remains is for the students to finish the volunteering, skill and physical sections of the award as well as completing a residential of their own choosing, either in this country or overseas.

Well done everyone. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a highly regarded scheme and we’re delighted that each level (bronze, silver and gold) is so popular among our pupils and students.

Name That Animal!

Everyone in our community – staff, pupils and families – have been asked to help us choose names for our new values animals. We hope the animals will make our values easier to understand across the Saracens schools, particularly for our ‘little brothers and sisters’ at Saracens Broadfields and Saracens Bell Lane.

Which names will be given to the ant, bee, dog and camel? We’re grateful to our Pupil Leadership Team and Year Leadership Team for giving us some suggestions but we now need everyone’s help to choose the winning names!

Please take less than a minute to CLICK HERE and cast your votes!
