The NCS school council had many productive meetings this year with school council reps convening every half term to discuss ideas for developments their tutor groups would like to see.
Congratulations to three of our alumni who have achieved incredible musical success over the past year.
Once again this year, the boys in Year 8 carried out an extended research project into an area of their choice that took them beyond the school curriculum.
To celebrate the language, culture and traditions of France, Years 5 and 6 enjoyed a carousel of activities including a baguette workshop, a French art session, a tasting of French sweets and a game of pétanque.
As part of their post-exam activity programme, the boys in Year 8 spent two afternoons in the company of a team from Sir Robert McAlpine, the contractors who are constructing our new Gradel Quad building.
Years 3-8 were delighted to welcome Jess and Hannah from Zoolab for the day on 19 May.
Towards the end of Hilary 2022, NCS was visited by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
To mark International Women's Day, Dinti Batstone, Fawcett Society trustee, addressed the whole school in chapel. These were her powerful words:
You could argue that every day is World Book Day at a school like NCS, with the library at the heart of the school, and books suffusing lessons -- and not just those in English.
On Tuesday 1 March we went on a school trip to the synagogue in Jericho.
In Music lessons during the first part of Hilary, Year 6 undertook a score-based analysis of compositional techniques in Igor Stravinsky’s famous ballet, The Firebird (Жар-птица).
