Dear Parents and Carers
Wednesday night was Rock Night at Myton – an annual event where students from Year 7 to Year 12 get to showcase their tremendous musical and vocal talents. The audience were treated to renditions of Kings of Leon’s ‘Use Somebody’, Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick in the Wall’, Queen’s classic ‘We Will Rock You’ and my favourite, Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’. I’m always amazed by the students’ talents, and the hard work and dedication it takes to reach that point. Thank you to everyone who came to support.

They also had the opportunity to see art in the galleries and a terrifying spider sculpture by the artist Louise Bourgeois.

In school we do not teach blanket ‘stranger danger’ messages to the students. Instead, we follow the recommendations of the Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board’s Taking Care Scheme and explain that sometimes a stranger is the only person who can help us and is a far safer option than not talking to anyone.
