A Level French Students visit Lille
Fifteen A-Level French students travelled to Lille
on the Eurostar with Miss Bowerman and Mrs
Neale from Friday 12th until Sunday 14th April.
Lille is the birthplace of former French President
Charles de Gaulle and is a European city of Art
and Culture. They stayed in one of the city’s
most fashionable Youth Hostels and visited the
Palais de Beaux Arts, Louis XIV’s Porte de Paris,
the Old Stock Exchange and the UNESCO Bell
Tower, as well as fitting in time to buy souvenirs
in the Grande Place. The students thoroughly
enjoyed the visit, immersing themselves in
Lille’s history and culture.

Year 12 Sports Leaders
Students preparing for the Level 3 Cambridge Technical in Sport led sports events in the two weeks
before Easter. The organisers were very ambitious this year and the events were exceptionally good.
They now have to review and evaluate their contributions and the delivery of the event in order to
achieve their grades. Liam Andrews, Arthur Carter, Ben Daniels and Harry Bowen organised a
football tournament for all the 125 Year 7 students are Westacre Middle School. Kaitlin Fletcher,
Jennifer Gearey, Katie Meakin and Jesika Jordan organised an extracurricular badminton event,
open to all within our school. Adam Keen, Joshua-Cain Priest and Lewis Simmons organised a two-
hour football tournament for our own Year 8 boys.

Winter Worcestershire School Games
On Monday 8th of April, eight elite Droitwich Spa athletes went to the Winter Worcestershire School Games held at The Bromsgrove School. The morning was spent in the athletes’ village experiencing the climbing wall, dance classes and collecting stickers and wristbands. In the afternoon the event got under way and all the students competed to their best of their abilities, consistently finishing in the top 2 or 3 in every running, throwing and jumping event. The points total kept on rising and resulted in Droitwich Spa High School finishing second, rating them the second best athletics team in Worcestershire. The approach, maturity and effort of these girls was exemplary and their achievement was well deserved.

Spring Concert The Spring Concert was a thoroughly enjoyable evening of performances from students in every year
group from 8 through to year 12. They showed impressive skills and creative flair as they performed a
wide variety of musical styles, including Baroque and Classical pieces, songs from Musical Theatre,
Jazz standards and Pop music from the 1960’s to the present day. Particular mention should be made
of the students in the year 8 and 9 class bands, for whom this was their first concert since starting to
learn their instruments in January. They showed professionalism and courage, performing their items
skilfully and already demonstrate a high level of musicianship. Thanks also to Kobie Morris for
providing excellent lighting for the concert and to Katie Bowen and Ben Daniels who were our very
articulate comperes for the evening. Congratulations to all of the performers for an excellent
evening’s entertainment.
