Pupils from our Senior School performed the percussion piece they have been composing throughout this half term for an audience of Year 1 pupils.
After the performance, the Senior students gave Year 1 the chance to try out a range of percussion instruments – including the electronic drum kit!
IGNITE Spotlight: Chess Club Edition! ♟️🧠
Every week, students in our Chess Club gather to think ahead, make their move, and most importantly, have fun!
To round off the half term, the club welcomed a special visitor, David Robinson from the Meltham and Denby Dale Chess Club, who played simultaneous matches against all of the students!
It was an exciting and inspiring session, giving pupils the chance to put their strategies to the test and learn from an experienced player. ♟️👏
This is what IGNITE is all about, discovering new passions, stretching your thinking, and enjoying every move along the way. ✨
Four of our Year 11 students represented HGS at the Top of the Bench Competition held at Huddersfield University. Competing against schools from across Kirklees, they completed a series of practical challenges and a quiz using university-level equipment. 🧪
They finished 5th overall after tackling challenging practical`s and a quiz, showing great teamwork and representing HGS brilliantly! 🌟👏
A huge thank you to one of our parents, Nikki, who led a fantastic and professional Basic First Aid session for our parent community on Friday morning. 👏
We’re so grateful for the time and expertise shared. A wonderful example of our parents supporting one another and promoting valuable skills within our school community.💙
Six of our brightest Year 11 mathematicians recently entered the UKMT Maths Competition for Girls, a new challenge for students from Years 11 to 13.
The competition comprised of 5 tricky problems to solve in 90 minutes. They all performed extremely well, with 3 being awarded a Merit certificate. We are so proud of all of them!
A brilliant effort from our U11 Netball Team! 👏
They may have lost the match, but they played brilliantly as a team — showing great enthusiasm, determination, and flexibility as they tried out new positions. For some, it was their very first competitive game, and they applied everything they’ve learned in lessons. Well done, everyone! 🌟
A brilliant 20–17 win for our U16 Netball Team against Hipperholme!
Great teamwork, resilience and determination throughout! 💪🏐
This week we welcomed Mrs Bagri to our Prep School Assembly to talk about the Sikh faith, traditions and values. It was an absolute joy to listen to, with values such as kindness, courage, being humble and thinking outwardly to community, all being at the forefront.
We enjoyed learning about Bandi Chhor Divas, a festival celebrating freedom along with the importance of the Gurdwara and how this links with wider community. Mrs Bagri was supported by Amar, Hans and Jeevan who presented wonderfully and even included a knowledge check quiz at the end.
Mrs Jhutty and Mrs Khangura also attended and supported through their children. Thank you to all involved; it truly was a great start to the week and we all learned a great deal more about Sikhism.
