From strength to strength - another year of IB success!
Well done to the Year 10 Rounders team at the recent Borough tournament hosted at BGS. Fantastic turn out from you all showing commitment and passion in the game narrowly missing out on the top place.
Congratulations go to Praise being voted Player of the Tournament. Superb catching and fielding!
Also, thank you to Mattie Jones Year 12 for all your voluntary help with the officiating of the tournament.
Much appreciated!
Mrs Kemp and Mrs Howard
Year 8 students from BGS take part in the Salters' Festival of Chemistry at the University of Greenwich.
Tickets are selling fast so don't miss out!
For Sports Relief 2018 students in Year 7-9 were encouraged to take part in some 'Retro' / 'Old school' sporting activities during their lunchtime. Parents had kindly donated equipment, and the BGS School Council students gave up their time to help out. Students took part in activities including sack races, egg & spoon races and group skipping. They had so much fun and we are now looking into buying skipping ropes for students to use at lunchtime.
We also held a full school non-uniform day, and with both events combined raised over £1200, as well as encouraging our students to get more active.
Thanks to everyone who gave their money, time and equipment.
Well done to our brilliant Year 8 girls who won 2/3 Rounders matches against Bexleyheath Academy, Haberdashers' Crayford and Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School!
BGS achieves ISM award for GCSE Music Performance again.
To mark 10 years of performing Shakespeare's plays at Bexley Grammar School, the Junior Production presented 'Romeo and Juliet'. This heart-breaking story was performed by 54 Year 7-9s set in the 1920s era.
I would like to congratulate the Sixth Form 2nd XI for their battling performance on Saturday at Maidstone United's Ground. The final result was 1-1 and competition rules dictate that the title is shared between both finalists.
It has been a fantastic season and I thank all those footballers who have represented the school side at one point or another.
A full match report will follow from the Captain in next week's newsletter.
Mr Mackle, Football Coach
Monday 26th March saw our whole school Spring Concert take place, with a theme of ‘A Night of Music from the Movies’. The concert started with Symphony Orchestra performing the Main Title from Star Wars; a famous theme which proved to be far more challenging in its original form than any of us realised! However, the orchestra rose to the challenge admirably, and provided a dramatic start to the concert.
BGS students have created BBC news reports in 5 languages today as part of the national competition.
