• Creative Translation

  Wed 11 Jan 2023

  Our students have been given the opportunity for an extra-curricular activity exploring the possibilities of creative translation.

  The programme, organised by Oxford University, will culminate in a national translation competition which will be judged by a team of Oxford undergraduates and professional translators to select regional and national winners.

  In preparation for the competition, each week our students will be bringing translation to life by focusing on translating poetry, fiction, and literary non-fiction. This week, they spent time translating a recipe for the Epiphany - El Roscon for Spanish and La Galette des Rois for French.

  

• Year 7 delivers Morning Prayer in BSL (British Sign Language)

  Thu 05 Jan 2023

  A school with a deaf resource base as vibrant and encouraging as the St Francis de Sale Centre for the Deaf at St Gregory's, really highlights the importance of inclusivity in and out of the classroom. It is great for our students to see British Sign Language (BSL) in all parts of their school day, and this motivated Miss Englishby to teach her Year 7 Tutor group to start learning to sign their prayers.

  Miss Englishby aims to further integrate the use of BSL in her day-to-day lessons this year, which will give all the students the tools and encouragement to use it outside of the classroom too.

  To watch Miss Englishby's Tutor group in action, please follow this link:

• Student plays Cricket in Oman

  Thu 03 Nov 2022

  One of our Year 10 students, has just spent a week on a cricket tour to Oman playing in the Under 15s with her club 'The Mote CC'.

  Abi had an amazing trip playing 3 matches (two T20s and a 40 over day/night match) and played well in all three games. In the 40 over match, she scored 21 runs. Her bowling figures were 3 overs, 1 wicket for 12 runs and she also took a high catch in difficult conditions under floodlights. All three games were played in 35°C temperatures, which was a first for the squad. She was the only girl playing in the squad of 12.

   

  Her parents said 'It was a fantastic experience for her and her team including a trip to a mosque and the souq (local market). They also went on a boat trip and managed to see turtles, several species of fish, and were lucky to see a large pod of dolphins. 

  She will have great memories from her trip to Oman'.

• Visit from Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Renewal

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  On 12 October, the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Renewal visited St Gregory's during their weeklong Mission to St Lawrence's Parish in Edenbridge.

  The Friars and Sisters spent time talking to our Year 7s during their Discipleship curriculum, sharing the story of St Francis, how much God loves us and guiding our Year 7s in prayer. They also took the time to speak to some of our Sixth Form students, reflecting on following the desires God has placed in our hearts and sharing some of their testimony.
