This week is the last full week of GCSE and A Level examinations. Year 11 and Year 13 have been busy over these last few weeks, but the light at the end of the tunnel is now in sight. For those students who have their last exam this week, then I wish them good luck, and for those students who have already finished, then I hope they are happy with their performance, and that they have an enjoyable summer break.
At the weekend the MGS cricketers enjoyed their fixture against Norton Knatchbull and the glorious weather with two wins. However, despite reaching the semi-final of the Kent Cup beating Sevenoaks School along the way, the U15 squad lost their chance of reaching the final by sadly losing to Oakwood Park Grammar School by only seven runs. Bad luck to the players, but well done for progressing well through the competition.
Tomorrow we enjoy the opening of the annual MGS Art Exhibition. Artwork from students in years 11 and 13 will be on show, and I always enjoy wandering around the exhibition seeing the talents of some of our students. Please do come along. It takes place in the Big Hall and is open from 4pm.
This Friday MGS is proud to present Queen in the Quad. Members of the school band supported by our caterers will be supplying the rock music and BBQ as we celebrate 50 years since the release of Queen's debut album. The day will also be a free non-school uniform day, encouraging everyone to wear bright colours in celebration.
