On Friday, 7th November 2025, all schools across our Trust came together to mark Remembrance Day — a time to honour and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who have served, and continue to serve, in our armed forces.

The event was led by the Cadet Forces from each school, who played a central role in the commemorations, including readings, the laying of wreaths, and leading the Trust-wide act of remembrance. Their pride, discipline, and respect set the tone for a moving and meaningful occasion.

At 11:00am, pupils, staff, and guests across the Trust joined together in the Two Minutes' Silence, uniting as one community to remember those who gave their lives in service of others.

We are incredibly proud of the way our schools came together — standing side by side to honour the past, reflect on the present, and look with hope towards the future. A huge thank you to Etone College for hosting the event and to Elmwood School for joining us for their first trust wide event.

"We will remember them."

On Saturday 8th November,  24 pupils from Y7-10 went to Allianz Stadium (Twickenham) for an exciting and memorable day to witness England men's team defeat Fiji 38-18. From the moment we arrived, the pupils showed outstanding behaviour and represented the school superbly in every aspect—showing maturity, enthusiasm, and excellent teamwork.

Both staff and pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience, with the atmosphere of the stadium and an immersive light show and firework experience adding to the excitement of the day. The pupils engaged fully, supported each other, and made the most of the opportunity. It was a pleasure to see them demonstrating such pride in the school and embracing the experience so positively.

What an unforgettable evening celebrating Black History Month! Our talented pupils took to the stage with powerful performances of dance, drama, song, poetry, and music, each one honouring Black culture, history, and achievement with creativity and pride. From moving speeches to energetic dance routines and emotional musical pieces, every act showcased the passion, talent, and unity within our school community.

A huge thank you to all the performers, staff, and families who supported the event — it was a night filled with inspiration, reflection, and celebration💛❤️💚

This Friday, 10th October, we’re supporting Young Minds #helloyellow campaign by inviting pupils to wear something yellow — this could be a hair accessory, tie, jumper or socks — along with their usual school uniform.

We’re asking for a £1 contribution to help raise funds for this important cause.

Thank you for your support in helping us raise awareness for children’s mental health

On Friday 3rd October, 49 of our Year 10 Media and Drama pupils visited the Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter. Pupils had an incredible time exploring real costumes, props and sets, and even took on the Death Eaters in an interactive performance! The trip gave students a new appreciation for the creativity, teamwork and technical skill that go into filmmaking, as well as the wide range of exciting career paths linked to studying Media and Drama at exam level.

On Tuesday 23rd September, our Year 10 and 11 exam-level pupils took part in an incredible acting workshop with professional actor Georgie.

Pupils stepped out of their comfort zones, built confidence, and discovered the power of teamwork in drama. It was brilliant to see them living our school values by showing resilience when facing challenges, pride in their progress, and respect for one another throughout the day.

A huge thank you to Georgie for such a valuable and inspiring workshop.

We are very proud to announce that Miss Mustapha in year 13 has been nominated for the youth citizen award, where she was shortlisted. A wonderful evening to celebrate her success at the University of Wolverhampton alongside Mrs Gwatkin who attended.  Miss Mustapha goes above and beyond in her voluntary work in and outside of school, supporting the pupils and the community around her. Well done, we are so proud of her.

Year 11 Prefect Team Bonding Weekend COMPLETE! Despite the weather, our pupils demonstrated outstanding teamwork, communication, leadership, resilience, and problem-solving skills. The weekend gave our prefects the chance to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop the key skills they’ll need to be excellent role models across the school.

A huge thank you once again to all the team at PGL for providing such a fantastic experience. Finally, a big thank you to Miss Nash and Mr Owens for volunteering their time to accompany our Prefects this weekend.
