Dear families and friends of Bishop Luffa School,

https://www.thykingdomcome.global/

Well done to all our Sixth Form students who have been taking part in this year’s Young Enterprise. The Coastal West Sussex results have just been announced and we are delighted that Alexia Everley (12Wilson) was the Winner of the Ivor Page Award (an award to give recognition to a student who had delivered at an exceptional level). The Sustainability Award went to Green Jeans Company who were also Runners-up Arun & Chichester. The Best Company Award went to Wilde who now go through to the Sussex County Finals in May. Well done to both teams for all their hard work. Here’s some information about the companies they set up:

Last week we launched our ‘Bishop Luffa Spring Clean’ in aid of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in Southampton. This was because of Ms Cooper’s granddaughter, Chloe, who was being treated there. I am very sorry to start your week with sad news, but Chloe passed away at the weekend.

As you’ll be aware, Friday 8th May is a Bank Holiday (although in these strange times it may not feel like it) to commemorate VE Day – the ending of World War Two in Europe. As a School we had intended to mark this event, but as with the events around the country, this was not to be. However, this is still a significant anniversary in our nation’s history, and as such we would still encourage you to mark it at home if possible.

The History department set an Easter challenge to our Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils asking them to create a historical scene using an egg as the central character. We’ve had D-Day, Elizabeth I, Hastings, Agincourt, and more! Eggcellent work everyone.

Ella Watkins (7Ridgeway) has been keeping herself busy over the past few weeks.  As well as completing her school work Ella has been making and selling face masks to raise money for Stonepillow. She has, to date, made over 70 masks and raised in excess of
£220.

Florence Alexander, a former pupil at Bishop Luffa School recently rowed for Cambridge University in the Oxford-Cambridge annual women’s boat race. This was the lightweight category, rather than the more well-publicised Open-weight category, but the training, skills and dedication to the sport is just the same as for the open weights.

Pupils from the STEM club and/or Digital Leaders attended Chichester College’s STEMFest. They got involved with wheel changes, recycling and sustainability challenges, discovered crime scenes, virtual reality, augmented reality and joined their physics workshop just to name a few!
