  • On Wednesday and Thursday Nights, Year 8 Took Me Back to Those
    On Wednesday and Thursday nights, Year 8 took me back to those halcyon days of young love and boy band crushes when they entertained two fully packed theatre audiences with Totally Over You. It was a performance full of spirit and courage as four, hitherto non singing and dancing boys from Year 8 were catapulted, courtesy of Mrs Housego’s casting, into the founding members of Awesome, Hazelwood’s answer to Take That and Boyzone. There were moments of joy, of pathos and of teenage intrigue. As always with the Year 8 play, aside from the leading cast members who all performed brilliantly, there were some compelling cameo performances the most watchable of which was Jack G’s dancing in the shadows during the band’s big number. Well done to the cast who pulled together the play in just a few weeks and to Mrs Housego for yet again bringing the curtain down on a stellar Y8 play. Special mention must go too to Zac who was called upon to handle the lighting and the sound as a technical team of one. All seemed to run smoothly and if there were technical glitches, they didn’t show. As they say, ‘the show must go on’ and it did with style, panache and glow sticks! Thank you to Mrs Slade for these wonderful photos which perfectly capture the mood of the piece. Details will be shared as to how to get hold of copies. There was excitement of a different kind when Year 2 arrived at school on Wednesday to see a strange man dressed in a glittery purple hat with a cane and googly eyes standing in the car park.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In November 2011 Woking Borough Council appointed JKN Associates to undertake a review of the Playing Pitch Study they produced in 2006. Within the timescale and available resources the methodology adopted for this piece of work centred on desk research, consultation with key stakeholders and site visits. The review focussed on the changes that have occurred to the supply of facilities in the last six years and the changes in the demand for pitch sports over the same period. Unlike many local authorities that have produced Playing Pitch Strategies, Woking Borough Council have used the previous 2006 document and action plan as a working tool to guide capital investment. The findings from this new study can be used in a similar manner to aid investment decisions to 2016/21.

  • I Was So Impressed When I Went Down to the Nursery Site This Week to See So Many Wonderful Robots on Display As Part of the Nursery and Early Years’ Eco Week
    I was so impressed when I went down to the Nursery site this week to see so many wonderful robots on display as part of the Nursery and Early Years’ Eco Week. Of all shapes and sizes, and using such a variety of materials and recycled products, clearly a lot of fun and imagination has gone into each and every robot. Individually they were fantastic. Together they made for a display of engineering and manufacturing genius. C3P0 and R2D2 would have been proud! I had to look long and hard to work out what waste materials had been used in their construction. Having been painted and decorated, it was difficult to make some of the elements out. I know the children have enjoyed their learning this week and that the staff have worked hard to deliver an Eco Week which gave everyone plenty to investigate and to think about. Thank you to the parents who have helped co-create the robot army which now fills the Paterson Hall ready for today’s Open Morning. Thank you too to the parents who came along to the HPA’s AGM earlier this week. The atmosphere in the TOSH was uplifting and it was great to be part of a group of enthusiastic people who have given so much already, but clearly believe they have so much more to give in the future. The fun and the fund-raising have shared joint top billing on the HPA’s agenda most recently and this has clearly paid dividends. There is an impressive amount of money raised and a list of parents willing to step up and help organise and support events.

Guildford Cathedral is a modern expression of this traditional sacred space: the last Church of England cathedral consecrated on a new site (1961), and rooted in local identity and living memories through the many ‘brickgivers’ who helped fund its completion. At its heart of the life of a cathedral is a pattern of regular worship offered to God.
