Brilliant Club

Our Brilliant Club scholars have met with their PhD

tutor one last time to prepare the final draft for their

Literary Theory essays.

The Brilliant Club is a charity that encourages able

young people to consider university as an option for

their future. A group of Nova students were selected

for the Scholars’ Programme. Over the past 12 weeks

they have attended a launch trip to a highly selective

university; worked in school with a PhD tutor on an

academically challenging subject area, and

completed a final assignment of 3000 words which is

marked to degree standards. They are now awaiting

the results of their submissions.

Amy (10N1) has qualified for the second time to represent Team England in the Dance World Cup. Previously

attending Romania 2015, this year she will be representing England in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain. Amy and 34 other

dance team members from Swindon Academy of Dance, will join 5,800 dancers from 46 countries to compete

against each other. Having completed the audition process at the end of last year, Amy will compete in 4 different

categories during the week, hoping to gain places and points towards England being crowned the overall

winner. This is a fantastic achievement and we will keep you posted with how she and Team England get on.

Amy represents England en España!

Food modelling in Art

Year 7 students have created some mouthwatering creations in their Art lessons, which are on display in A wing.

The models are so realistic, can you see any real food?
