With Year 10s focusing on Macbeth as part of their English project, the students were asked to write their own soliloquies as Macbeth. The students produced excellent work and it is lovely to be able to share it. As this leads onto term 4, students will continue their study of Macbeth, developing their understanding of character, themes, key quotations, and exam skills.

Our KS4 students recently visited the Lincoln Arts Centre to watch a live performance of Macbeth, and it was a fantastic experience for all involved. Students were thoroughly engaged throughout the performance and responded really positively to seeing the play brought to life on stage.

The visit helped deepen their understanding of the characters, themes, and dramatic tension of the play, supporting their learning in English and building confidence with challenging texts. It was wonderful to see such high levels of focus, enthusiasm, and thoughtful discussion afterwards.

A big well done to our students for representing the school so positively — they were a credit to Athena School throughout the visit.

Next week two school council students will deliver the food donations to the local food bank.

For Children in Need tomorrow, pupils can come in non-uniform. Please could they bring something to donate - canned/packet goods - nothing perishable.

On November 11th our students were invited to wear their Cadet uniform to school. We couldn't be more proud of how they conducted themselves around school and took the Poppy Appeal box around to classes.

Our classes took the two minute silence to respectfully reflect on the sacrifices the Armed Forces make on our behalf.

Limited spaces available.  Please let your Crew Leader know if this is something you'd be interested in.
