The U6th music students’ time at SGS is almost all wrapped up! This year, not to be out done by previous students, Mr Lamplough’s office is wrapped in cling film!
I wondered if anyone listened to my assemblies...but then I received this painting from one of our wonderful pupils this morning! 'Even if you feel small, you can find the strength of a tiger inside!'
I was very touched by this. SGS pupils are amazing!
It is with sad hearts we pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. A special assembly has been called for 9am tomorrow morning. Our school flag will be flying at half mast during this mourning period. A defining monarch who will live long in our memories.
Meet our amazing catering team lead by Trask Trinder who has worked at SGS for over 12 years after starting his career back in 1980 working at the Savoy Hotel in London.
The food served in our cafeteria is absolutely delicious and there is so much choice.
