"Gunnersbury Catholic School is a thriving, vibrant and caring learning community within which pupils are stretched intellectually and foster a love of learning, whilst feeling valued, happy and safe" (OFSTED)
Throughout the last term our keen, energetic and excited bronze Duke of Edinburgh Year 9 students have been undertaking preparations for the expedition section of the award. They have completed day trips to learn skills in map-reading and orienteering.
Over the last 4 days our bronze students, divided into two groups, have completed the practise expedition which included an overnight in a tent as well as cooking and walking skills.
Although the weather was not brilliant it failed to dampen the spirits of our explorers who had a fantastic time and are now fully prepared for the assessed expedition after half term!
We were delighted to have so many of our Year 7 and 8 students take part in the Kingswood residential trip this term.
Our Year 7s enjoyed the early May bank holiday at the centre in the Isle of Wight and Year 8 spent a long weekend there last week under the care and support of our Gunnersbury staff.
All the boys took part in a range of activities including Laser Tag, Leap Of Faith, 3G Swing and Nightline along with the Obstacle Challenge.
Each evening they had an activity that included Movie Night, Quizzes and Mini Olympics.
Although sad to leave they had enjoyed a trip, made some new friends and certainly slept soundly on the coach back to school!
Sporting Success!
Our boys continue to strive for excellence in their sporting activities. Our skilled rugby player in Year 10 finished runners up in the U15 Middlesex Cup earlier this term.
In addition we are very proud of all our boys who competed in the ‘Active Row West Indoor Rowing’ competition with both the Year 7/8 and Year 9/10 team winning silver and bronze. We are looking forward to further sporting successes in the new term.
Come and study with us at Gunnersbury Catholic School! Places are now available for September 2021.
This year at Gunnersbury Catholic School, our pupils have continued to achieve the very highest at GCSE and A Level. On Tuesday 10th August, we had the opportunity to celebrate the fantastic results with our former Year 13 students, many of whom are now set to study Medicine, Law, PPE and other prestigious courses at highly respected universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, King's College London and Imperial.
