Students making jewellery in an after school club.
This was inspired by the visit from Theo Funnell, an exclusive jewellery designer who ran workshops for our students. Each week the students make a charm for a bracelet, using a different technique.
Examples of the charms.
Our Year 11 boys football team achieved success in the ESFA National Cup, winning 4 - 1 against Steyning Grammar School. Rob Atkin scored one goal and Harry Chuw scored a hat trick. They are now in the last 32 teams in the country, a record outcome for Winston. We wish them every success in their next game.
The Winter Concert provided an opportunity for students to demonstrate their musical talents in both solo and in groups. I am in awe of the confidence and skill of the young people at Winston and the commitment that they show towards their school. The Technical Team were essential to the success of the evening and can be seen in the photograph below.
Year 11 students have experienced a Drive Smart presentation. It is a very hard hitting and thought-provoking session around decision making and consequences.

Students in Year 9 were challenged by a number of issues in the Be Smart Be Safe Day which took place on Friday in place of the traditional timetable. The day covered a number of social problems including drugs, alcohol and domestic violence. The sessions were taken by a number of visiting health professionals and we are very grateful for their support.
