On Sunday 17 March some of the A level sports science class set off early from school to embark on a day of sport and the chance to put into practice the theory learnt in class. The day started with a visit to Lords to see the National Indoor Cricket finals. Mr white and Mr Towe both play for one of the four teams competing and although not in the starting six, both took part in the warm up. During the game a variety of psychological theories could be applied to the performers. With the match finishing we then took part in the Lords tour, engaging in a history lesson that captured the imagination with tales of the past.

There were some marvelous sights around the school on Friday 15 March 2013 as staff and students paid a donation towards the Comic Relief charity to wear fancy dress for the day.
We saw many genuinely imaginative creations; some made on (from?) a shoestring and others crafted with great care and not a little skill. All were worn with enormous pride and some not without discomfort.
We know we raised a lot of money; what with non-uniform donations, cake sales, sponsored silences, Harlem Shakes and many more.
The current total is £2135.34 with some sponsor money still to come. Well done everyone.

Dane Court's theatre hosts the annual Medieval Banquet attended by our year 7 students who are entertained with some authentic acts and sideshows (well, some less authentic than others). They are also plied with genuine medieval-style food and drink.
Sounds like fun? Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself.

On a cold and wet Thursday in March, five Dane Court students made their way to London to speak at the Natural History Museum with wildlife artist David Shepherd CBE. It was the tenth year that the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation had held their Global Canvas day at the Museum, which had attracted over a 1000 applicants from around the world, with 400 attending. With young minds waiting excitedly in the audience, David accompanied by Joe Weitzel, Etta Williams, Beth Smith, Abbie Coombs and Angel Francis took to the stage to talk about Elephants and their experiences with wildlife.
