#Cove School 12 May

Last Thursday, 8th May 2025 the nation marked 80 years since the end of WWII in Europe. Cove School joined in celebrating this important event - celebrating 80 years of peace and remembering the sacrifices that were made in order for that to happen. Students enjoyed a celebratory afternoon on the field with picnics, games and music, culminating in an exciting Y10 v Staff tug-of-war (the staff team are still feeling the defeat!) and the whole school singing the National Anthem, which was incredibly moving. We hope that the students will remember these events and how they celebrated VE Day 80 in years to come.

Over the past 7 months, our Shakespeare School students have been working very hard on creating their own retelling of Macbeth. After weeks of dedicated rehearsals, their performance was taken to the Haymarket Theatre in Basingstoke last week where they even got an outdoor theatre rehearsal experience before taking to the stage. Full of their own Cove twist, they definitely entertained their audience, enjoyed their experience and made us incredibly proud. Thank you to all our students and ever-supportive parents involved for another enjoyable year. All of your hard work certainly paid off.
