Formula E Event for Girls

On Tuesday 16th July, a group of our year 9 and 10 girls attended the Girls on Track Formula E event at City Hall, London, hosted by the Greater London Authority (GLA) and supported by Careers Hub East.

They had the exciting opportunity to explore the world of eco-conscious motorsport, get up close to a real Formula E racing car, and participate in engaging workshops with Formula E, Newham College, and the GLA. The event highlighted green career pathways and celebrated female representation in sustainable industries.

Our pupils left feeling inspired and motivated to think big about their futures in STEM, sustainability and beyond.

Building Development Site Visit

Our Year 9 pupils had the exciting opportunity of visiting a live development site at 2 Henshaw Parade in The Hyde, NW9.

During the trip to the St George site (a member of The Berkeley Group), they explored how large-scale regeneration projects are planned and delivered, and learned about careers in architecture, sustainability, land development, construction, and sales.

The visit included a guided tour of the neighbourhood and a behind-the-scenes look at the sales and marketing suite. Pupils heard directly from professionals working on the project and asked thoughtful questions about the planning process, environmental impact, and career pathways.

 

Year 12 Visit Royal Holloway University

Year 12 were taken on a visit to Royal Holloway University to show them what university life is like and to give them a better idea of what to look for when considering universities and courses.

Husna described her experience:

“Going to the Royal Holloway provided us with valuable insight and experience by learning deeper about higher education. We were provided with tours and received lectures thus helping us experience university life. This trip helped me and others understand clearer about lecture styles, take in the environment and learn what to consider when applying for a university.”

Congratulations to our first ever Saracens High School leavers as they head off to a range of prestigious universities in the autumn and all the best to our current Year 12s with their applications. Perhaps one of our Year 12s will even gain a place at Royal Holloway!

STEM Sessions with Imperial College

A group of pupils from Year 10 were really engaged in sessions delivered at school by members of the Afro-Caribbean Society from Imperial College London.

The enormously impressive students, Nissi Okine and Fumnanya Ifeogwu, inspired our young people to keep working hard to make their aspirations a reality.

The Imperial students shared:

-Their journey into STEM degrees at the world-leading Imperial College, including high school studies, extracurricular endeavours and admissions tests
-Information about medicine and engineering with a quiz to reinforce learning
-An insight into student life including how to balance personal life and study, and money management

We send off our first ever cohort of students to universities and workplaces this summer and hope that it won’t be long before one of our alumni enrols at Imperial!

Message From The Principal

The summer term always seems to come around so quickly and here we are again with another Year 11 cohort, and our first Year 13 cohort, having just started their public exams. Just after Easter the Year 11s had their language oral exams and the 10 hour art exam and they are now in full flow with their written exams.

Our Year 12 and 13 T Level students have worked hard on their coursework elements: the Employer Set Project (ESP) and the Occupational Speciality Project (OSP). The A Level students have started their written exams and our Pre-Apprenticeship students have completed their work experience coursework tasks.

It is an intense period and I am grateful to the staff for the way they prepare the young people so well. Our teachers always go above and beyond with targeted intervention sessions to ensure that pupils perform to the best of their ability. However, there are many more staff involved in the process, from the pastoral teams who ensure that everyone has the support they need to the amazing examination staff, LSAs, catering and site staff who all play a key role in making the whole process run smoothly. I am very grateful to the staff who give up many hours before and after school as well as at weekends and in the holidays. I am also grateful to our families, who have spent many hours supporting their children to revise and to help them feel confident about the process.

Please remember that Year 13 results are released on Thursday 14th August, with Year 11 results the following week on Thursday 21st August.

Art Against Knives

This term the youth charity Art Against Knives has been running workshops with our pupils.

The sessions have provided a safe space for the children to discuss important topics such as confidence, beauty standards, sexual harassment, social media, mental health and racism. These topics have been explored through creative projects such as designing posters and making magazines.

We’re happy to work in partnerships with charities like Art Against Knives to help our pupils secure the futures they long for.

100 Key Facts Quiz

Each term this year, pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 have participated in a 100 Key Facts quiz. The focus is to find out just how well they have learnt key words in all of their subjects that will help them to be successful in lessons. Each afternoon in Learning Group, pupils participate in an activity called Look, Cover, Write, Check where they learn and remember these key words from their knowledge organisers.

It has been exciting seeing pupils’ engagement in Look, Cover, Write, Check and subsequent success in remembering key words. Teachers are using the data from these quizzes each term to adjust their teaching and challenge pupils to remember even more!

We have also held follow-up challenges to celebrate the top scoring pupils, as house teams compete against one another in a game show format, cheered on by the rest of the year group. As well as house points the winning teams have also received individual prizes.

The next 100 Key Facts quiz will be on 7th July with the follow-up challenge to take place before the end of the school year. We can’t wait to see which house will come out on top!

Maths Challenge

Each year, Saracens High School runs the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Maths Challenges. There are three basic levels: senior (KS5), intermediate (KS4), and junior (KS3). We are delighted to have had over 250 pupils across years 7-13 participate this year!

These challenges are maths questions that are designed to be tricky and make you think. Pupils are not allowed any calculators or measuring equipment and have to rely only on their brain to answer these difficult questions.

To achieve a bronze award in the challenge, pupils must be in the top 50% nationwide. Silver is the top 33% and Gold is the top 16%. We are very proud that we have had 81 bronze awards, 18 silver awards, and even two gold awards this year (who were invited to participate in the follow-on rounds)!

Each pupil who has participated will receive a certificate next half term to celebrate their achievement.

We cannot wait to see what next year’s results hold!

Supreme Court and Parliament

A Level History and Politics students enjoyed the unique experience of visiting the Supreme Court and Houses of Parliament.

As well as going on a tour of the impressive building, Saracens sixth formers also witnessed two live trials in the highest court in the UK.

After lunch, students made their way to Parliament where they watched two debates in the House of Commons.

What incredible experiences, to witness in real life all they’ve been learning about in class!
