As a College with a Christian character, we are committed to our students’ academic success and to the development of their individual character and personality. At the end of the 2019-2020 academic year we launched our College Enrichment Programme which ran for all students in Year 7 – 10 and Year 12 during the last two weeks of term. During this time, the students engaged in a range of PSHE workshops, careers education events and a number of cultural trips and enrichment activities run by College staff and external agencies.

Last week, our students have been watching videos of their teachers arguing passionately for their favourite book, and voting for their favourites. The winner, English teacher Ms. Sadaani’s book Alanna, The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce, won with over 1,500 votes, deciding once and for all, what is the school’s favourite read.

On the evening of Thursday 17th January, our stellar Performing Arts department hosted another fantastic Winter Show packed with music, dance and drama performances from our talented students. Well done to all those involved!

BCNN - our student-led Bacon's College News Network - returns just in time for the end of the Autumn Term and our Advent Appeal! In our first episode of the academic year, our Head Girl and Head Boy take us through the exciting activities that have been taking place across the college as we raise money for The Robes Project.

10C had a fantastic experience at the Young Vic and thoroughly enjoyed an innovative production of Twelfth Night which was directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah.

Over the summer term, we will reading the Carnegie shortlist and shadowing the judges.  The Carnegie is the most prestigious annual prize for children’s and young adult fiction.  You can find out more about the award at http://www.carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/ and you can follow our progress via our blog here.  Students who would like to take part can speak to Mrs Lloyd, or come to the library on Tuesdays from 3.30pm – 4.30pm.
