‘Musi­cal mad’ stu­dents from across the year groups had the oppor­tu­nity to see Sam Mendes’ lav­ish pro­duc­tion of Char­lie and the Choco­late Fac­tory at the The­atre Royal Drury Lane.

The larger than life show with stun­ning sets and visual spe­cial effects cost in excess of 4 mil­lion to make and fin­ished with Char­lie and Willy Wonka rid­ing high above the audi­ence in a stun­ning glass elevator.

Pupils thor­oughly enjoyed the expe­ri­ence and although we arrived back at almost mid­night every­one agreed it was one of the best shows ever seen!

The next musi­cal the­atre trip will be to see Can­ter­bury Operatic’s pro­duc­tion of Sweeney Todd at The Mar­lowe the­atre where yours truly will be appear­ing on stage! More details to fol­low soon.

On the 26th Octo­ber, 12 juniors took part in a 24 hour Ten­nis marathon at Mar­gate Lawn Ten­nis club. The money raised goes towards the Club’s facil­i­ties and equip­ment to enhance the play­ing stan­dard and improve the abil­ity of the Club’s younger mem­bers. The event was car­ried out through­out the entire night from 10am till 10am the next day, in chal­leng­ing weather con­di­tions, tor­ren­tial rain and strong wind The weather did not affect the event, as the par­tic­i­pants car­ried on through­out the night, keen to raise the money to help younger play­ers reach their poten­tial. Over £1000 was raised.
The fol­low­ing juniors from King Ethel­bert took part; Reece Mab­ber­ley, Paul Maxwell, Jake Cop­per, Kieran Duck­worth, Ben Mor­ris and Ayo Owoborode. Well done Boys!

In 2012 King Ethel­bert launched the new Hous­ing Sys­tem. This has seen an increased par­tic­i­pa­tion in com­pe­ti­tions and a healthy rivalry develop between the Houses.
Cur­rently there are three Houses within the school. These being; Eagles, Fal­cons and Hawks. Each House has a Head of House (teacher), Sports Cap­tains and House Cap­tains (stu­dents) in each year group.
Through­out the year the ‘House Cal­en­dar of Events’ sees the three Houses com­pet­ing in many com­pe­ti­tions., vary­ing from the tra­di­tional Sports Com­pe­ti­tions to events in Music, Art, Eng­lish and many more.
At the end of the year all House Points gained from the events are added together so that one of the Houses can be crowned Champions.

mov200pxOn the 6th Novem­ber 2013 the whole of year 9 went on a trip to the Mar­lowe The­atre to watch a Shake­speare pro­duc­tion of The Mer­chant of Venice. The play was very inter­est­ing and the lan­guage was well spo­ken. Although the stage was small they used the space very well and made it look big­ger. Also the spe­cial effects like the blood and fake eye being pulled out looked very real­sitic! In the play the actors were all men to coin­cide with the Shake­speare theme, as women weren’t allowed to act in shake­spearean times. We had been ana­lyz­ing the play in our Eng­lish lessons learn­ing about the lan­guage and the his­tory in those days
