Over 70 students took part in the Christmas Concert on Tuesday evening in front of a packed audience, with performances ranging from solo piano and vocal through to string group, ukulele and rock bands. 

It was wonderful to see solo performances from some of our Year 7 students and to see the display of talent at Myton, particularly at the end of a term which saw us lose our Music Department with all practice rooms and many of the instruments due to RAAC. 

Thank you to all the students who took part, those helping, technician Mr Hurst with sound and lighting and Ms Harrisson who challenges and supports our students every year in developing and performing their musical skills. We look forward to welcoming parents to our next performance and seeing how the musical skills of our students develop over the year.

This morning we held our annual Christmas Carol Service at St Mary’s Church in Warwick. Our Year 7 students attended this festive event with readings, carols and musical performances from some of our students. Well done to all our instrumentalists, vocalists and Sixth Form readers.

Thank you to all the parents, carers, governors and the Mayor of Warwick, Councillor Oliver Jacques, for coming along and supporting this event. And special thanks to Reverend Jonathan Hearn, from St Paul’s Church, for taking our service and St Mary’s Church for once again welcoming us so warmly.

Please see below flyer about a HAF session that will take place at the Lillington Children & Family Centre on the 2 January 2024.

On Tuesday 12 December, On Tai, Jacob and Karl from Year 10 were successful in joining a virtual work experience project together with thirty other school students between the ages of 14-18 years. Our students had to apply to take place and this included writing a short summary on why they were interested in the opportunity and what they hoped to gain from it. In the workshop, students were given a scenario that involved a tunnel being flooded next to Birmingham Train Station and they had to come up with a solution for this. Solutions proposed included using social media to warn people about the issue and therefore prevent them going that way, encouraging alternative transport. Another considered diverting traffic and used maps of the area to do so. Unfortunately none of these ideas won, however it was a fantastic opportunity to use GIS, team work and analytical skills, whilst understanding careers related to Geography.

It was a great experience for all and I was really proud of how our students conducted themselves and represented Myton School.

We were extremely privileged to welcome Gloria Silver to Myton to deliver her father’s inspirational story of survival, and ‘luck’ as he called it, to our Year 9 students.

During their history lessons this term Year 9 have been studying the Holocaust.  Hearing the story of Tony Chuwen, Gloria’s father, enabled these students to learn more of the unique and individual stories of the Holocaust, which in turn teach us all valuable lessons about survival and resilience.  These lessons also enforce in our students the importance of living in a tolerant inclusive society, which aims to challenge any type of prejudice or discrimination.

Friday 8 December 2023 will be our whole school Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save the Children. It is planned to be a non-blazer day only (please ensure your child wears the rest of their normal school uniform).  The theme will be a Christmas or cosy jumper (no hoodies please), so there is no need to go out and buy a Christmas jumper especially for the day. If your child would like to further add to the Christmas theme with tinsel, Christmas socks etc, this will be welcomed!

All donations will go to the charity Save the Children. Please make all donations (minimum £1) using your ParentPay account. Our last non-uniform day raised £1500 for Children in Need and we are extremely grateful for the way our families support others.

We look forward to seeing lots of Christmas cheer!
