On Saturday we welcomed many Old Maidstonians back to MGS to
attend the Old Maidstonian Sports Day. During
the afternoon we enjoyed a round robin tournament of football involving many
Old Maidstonian teams as well as a few teams of current students. MGS won!
This was then followed by the MGS vs. Old Maidstonian rugby match which
was won this year by the Old Maidstonians.
A huge thank you to Mr Ferguson, Mr Saunders, Mr Terrell, the Cucina
caterers, the sixth from prefects and of course the players for making it all
possible. A great day was had by all.
Yesterday we continued welcoming Old Maidstonians back to MGS inviting them to our A Level Certificate Presentation Evening. About 50 former students from last year’s Year 13 cohort attended the event which was warmly received, particularly because we have not been able to stage such an event since 2019.
Today is the Virtual Year 10 Parents’ Evening. Parents and students will hear from subject teachers about progress made to date, and what the next year looks like building up the GCSE examinations in the summer of 2023.
Tomorrow and Thursday we will be enjoying two evenings of The History Boys: the first staged performance at MGS since 2019. The cast and crew have been rehearsing since September and are looking forward to putting on a performance in front of a live audience. Tickets are £5 and can be purchased from the School Bursary.
Friday is the end of term and is marked this year with, fingers crossed, our whole school photograph. The last time we had a whole school photograph was back in September 2014, so it has been a long time coming. I say fingers crossed because we need good weather, but as long as it is dry, it is full steam ahead.
Finally, from Icarus in the Archives, did you know when Maidstone Grammar Schools was celebrating its 300th anniversary, Harrods Store was just opening for the first time in London.
