Band Showcase

The Band Showcase took place on Tuesday 12th November 2019, giving students the opportunity to perform in self selecting groups.  It made for a very enjoyable 45 minutes of music.  Some of the students were demonstrating their skills on several instruments, having decided to learn how to play a second or even a third one!




Rugby Fever


Our school was kindly invited to the 'Celebration of Rugby' Festival at Staines RFC last week. This event was organised by Harlequins RFC's Foundation team who work to inspire, educate and equip young people through the power of sport, and also to drive positive change following the success of the Rugby World Cup in Japan.


They had 400+ in attendance from across the London boroughs, both girls and boys from U10s through to U15s. The day was jam-packed with games where core values of teamwork, respect and resilience were tightly embedded.

I was very proud to take 3 very strong teams to participate in this tournament, along with one of our Y11 Sports Captains, Evie, who was identified by Harlequins RFC for her umpiring and leadership skills and was selected to be one of their Young Referees across several matches throughout the festival.

Out of an accumulative total of 20 matches played by our U13 girls, U15 girls and U15 boys, we only conceded 3 games. Sheer grit and team determination led the way for their success. We even caught the eye of the 3 International Fijian rugby stars who had just returned from the World Cup and were keen to see our homegrown talent on display. From impressive leadership from Bo, to the skills of 'The Windmill' Ella, to the morale and analytical motivation from Will, I was not the only one who was extremely proud of each student and how they conducted themselves - The Harlequins RFC squad tweeted the following from their social media account after the tournament - "Your pupils were a credit to each other, their parents and The Winston Churchill School. Some fantastic 'Beat the Game' ideas on show too" #PROUD!
