      Book Fair.

      From the 19th to the 24th of November we will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair. The fair will be open every Break 1 and both breaks on the 21st in the library. All pupils will be welcome to visit the fair in their breaks where there will be books on sale, many of which at a discounted price.  

      Anyone wishing to purchase a book will be given a ‘wish list’ form to fill out with their chosen titles, which they will take home, and payment can then be made online via the website or QR code on the form. Once payment has been made the pupil will then need to bring the form back to school and they will be able to receive their books.

      All ‘wish list’ forms need to returned by the end of Break 1 on the 24th of November, as if we need to request extra copies from Scholastic this has to be done by lunchtime on the 24th.

      Please see flyer blow for details and for QR code to pay for books online.

    • Behind the Camo: What does the Army do?

      Published 14/11/25, by Susan Braidley

      Ever wondered what life in the British Army is really like?

      Behind the Camo is a four-part virtual event series that gives a real, honest look at life in the British Army. Each episode features serving soldiers answering questions people don’t usually ask - covering different topics like career options, daily life, and common myths. It’s a great opportunity to hear personal stories, explore the wide range of roles available, and see how Army life can be more supportive and rewarding than you might expect. Get insider knowledge, hear directly from those living Army life, and have your unanswered questions tackled.

      In our first episode, we explore the Army’s core roles in defence, peacekeeping, and humanitarian missions, brought to life through personal stories from serving soldiers. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions live during the event, with our team on hand to respond in real time, giving you direct access to honest answers and real experiences from Army life.  

      Episode 1 – Behind the CAMO - What does the Army do?

      📅 Wednesday, 19th November 2025

      Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers (12A)
      200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery hosted the UK's biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to re-examine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers explores the artist's years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Explore the passion which drove one of the world’s favourite artists to change art forever. Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers celebrates Van Gogh’s genius, enabling its audience to truly understand this iconic artist in a brand new way…

      Wednesday 10 December
      4.45pm and 7.30pm
      The Salt Path (12A)
      Based on the controversial memoir by Raynor Winn, this is the story of how she and her ailing husband (played by Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs) set out on a 630-mile trek along the Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being evicted from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination.

      Information common to both films
      Showing at Stockbridge Town Hall SO20 6HE. Tickets £6.00 (incl £0.50p booking fee) per adult ticket) on sale via www.stockbridgecinema.org.uk or by telephone from TicketSource 0333 666 3366.  Please visit our website for full details of all films.
