Discovery Week

July 19, 2019/in General News /by BHGS

Pupils in Years 7 to 10 learned new skills through Discovery Week activities

In the last week of term pupils across the year groups were able to choose from a range of residential and day trips and in-school activities. We were really pleased to see how well the girls embraced new experiences and how much they benefited from learning new skills. Residential trips included visits to Paris, Iceland and Belgium, whilst day trips ranged from STEM focused experiences to drama, street dancing and crafts. Enriching their skillset, Year 7 learned outdoor survival, Year 8 how to make lemonade, Year 9 raft building and Year 10 how to raise funds for charity. All in all, it was a successful and exciting week! For more news and photos of the activities, please see our Social Wall: https://bishophatfield.herts.sch.uk/social-wall/

We had excellent feedback from external organisations on the pupils’ behaviour. One Bushcraft team leader said, “The Bishop’s girls were the best school we’ve seen this summer – they were enthusiastic about the activities and were great fun to be with but knew when to quietly listen to instruction. They were a pleasure to supervise!”

Thank you to those staff who worked so hard behind the scenes to ensure the week ran smoothly.

Dance World Cup 2019 Medallist

July 15, 2019/in House Seacole /by BHGS

BHGS pupil and her team bring back two bronze medals from Portugal Dance World Cup 2019

I started dance classes when I was six with ballet, tap and musical theatre and I loved it. It’s a really good chance to meet new friends and compete in festivals. I continued with these classes but now also do jazz, modern and contemporary but most recently got my first pointe shoes! Dancing teaches you more than just how to move to music. I have learned to be really organised and train hard as well as learned how to work with others and be really disciplined. I have great teachers at North Star Academy who understand how to help me succeed and have developed my confidence over the years. It was amazing to have qualified for Team England at the Dance World Cup and it was an incredible experience to perform in Portugal with so many dancers from all over the world. Coming home with two bronze medals from my groups and knowing that England overall won the Dance World Cup 2019 was a really proud moment and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it. In this country, I compete in festivals all over England and the groups I am in will be performing at the All England Finals in High Wycombe in August. There are dancers I train with who are just amazing. I’m not one of the best but to be able to dance with inspirational people and watch them deliver some really difficult choreography is a good opportunity for me to aspire and challenge myself. I would advise others to always follow your interest, give things a try and persevere because you never know where your passion could take you!

Bishop’s is blooming

July 14, 2019/in General News /by BHGS

The July sunshine has brought out the flowers in our grounds

It’s lovely to see how colourful our new landscaping looks with the maturing flowering shrubs and wildflower verges. Interserve are still working on the amenity areas and school field which we hope will be handed over for use next year.

Sports Day 2019

July 9, 2019/in General News /by BHGS

Great teamwork and sportsmanship contributed to another successful Sports Day

The weather was in our favour on Sports Day this year. Pupils showed fantastic determination and commitment in their performance and there was a great atmosphere amongst the audience on the field.

Year winners were: Year 7 – 1st Seacole, 2nd Franklin; Year 8 – 1st Parr, 2nd Hadid; Year 9 – 1st Franklin, 2nd Hadid; Year 10 – 1st Parr, 2nd Hadid. There were some brilliant individual performances – a huge well done to all competitors!

Well done to the staff too, for organising the day and also joining in the staff relay team which was won by Austen!

Royal Society Young People’s Book Awards

July 4, 2019/in General News /by BHGS

BHGS was delighted to be chosen to judge the Young People’s Book Awards 2019

A group of Year 8s judged the shortlist for the Royal Society’s Young People’s Book Awards 2019 today. Chosen to be one of the judging panel schools, BHGS received a set of the six fabulous shortlisted science books for our pupils to review.

This prize is solely judged by under-14s, with the winners announced in the autumn. The girls were all very enthusiastic and entered into some lively debates about the books in their groups. Thanks to our Librarians for organising this.

BHGS Science Fair 10th anniversary

July 3, 2019/in General News /by BHGS

BHGS’ 10th Science Fair crowned a success

This was the 10th in a series of annual Science Fairs and it promised to be the most exciting one yet. The competition began during British Science Week in March, 2019. Pupils in Years 7 to 9 worked with a team of their peers to investigate a scientific question or topic of their choice. Having presented their plan to their Science class, the best were selected to go forward to the finals. Their hard work was clear to see at our Science Fair showcase on Wednesday 3rd July. This inspiring science event was attended by many other pupils and there was even an opportunity to purchase ‘do it yourself’ Science activity packs ideal to keep busy throughout the summer holidays.
