“Harry's Day”

The school will be supporting the Witham & Rivenhall branch of the Air Training Corps (ATC) in memory of Harry Robinson, who was a member of this branch and a student at Notley High School.

The next non-uniform day was initially planned for Friday 12 March, but the school felt it to be important to support a cause which was dear to Harry’s heart.  His ATC branch is in need of a new mini-bus and the total raised on 16 March will be donated to help them achieve their aim.  This day would also have been Harry’s 14^th birthday, so it is particularly appropriate and poignant that we fundraise in his...

Notley High Ski Trip February 2010 25/2/2010

Prev | Next

February half term 2010 saw yet another ski trip head out to Austria for the annual Notley High Ski trip. It was my tenth trip at Notley and quite honestly the best to date! 

With only 23 students it was the smallest trip I have ever taken but because of this there was a real family atmosphere to the group. All the students really looked out for one another and there was no separation between the year groups.

Travelling with a new company this year, The Austrian Experience, provided us with a really personal service and a range of new and different evening activities. We went Tubing on the first night where the children slid down the slopes in large tyre inner tubes! Much... (Read More)

On the 9^th of February, Year 7 was selling Valentine’s cards for Notley High School for the duration of the week, dedicated for a special person. This special person is Harry Robinson.

In 7T Harry Robinson’s brother decided with the help of his class to make a memorial for him. In the past years, Harry Robinson attended Air Training Corp with many of his friends. When Harry attended the air cadets, he was in charge of fundraising. The Air Training Corp is raising funds for a new mini bus, for trip and expeditions. But unfortunately due to Harry’s death, they needed additional help with the fundraising.

Jack Petchey Achievement Award – Winners 27/1/2010

Prev | Next

It is with great pleasure that we can announce that the prizes for January, February and March can be awarded this month.  Having checked with the Jack Petchey Foundation, only one student per month can receive an award and as three students were involved in a charitable act, they have to be awarded a month each.  The Jack Petchey Foundation is happy for this to happen.

Four months ago, Sam Doré in Year 8, was diagnosed with a very rare cancer and began immediate treatment at the University College London Hospital.  Without any prompting and completely using their own initiative, three of Sam’s Year 8 friends decided to raise money to help support teenage...

Art Masterclass 26/1/2010

Prev | Next

On Saturday 16th, an exciting Art Masterclass took place at Notley, along with other Gifted and Talented events. The Masterclass focused on expressive artwork, and how there are many different ways to create effective and striking pieces of art. Students were focusing on the work of Vicki Orenstein, a professional artist, who talked to the students and led the Masterclass. The thing that made this Masterclass different from all the rest was that no conventional methods were used. Bubble wrap, string, even hands were used to create very original pieces of art that used anything but the paintbrush.

The students really enjoyed the time spent at the course, and Ms. Monro... (Read More)
