Quiet on the Set! During May half term, the school hosted Digeo Productions, a digital video production company working with Oxford University Press. Several of our Year 12 students were lucky enough to work as extras on the set, gaining invaluable experience and creating memories to last a lifetime. Emilia Forster described her week with Digeo: “I really enjoyed working with Digeo; I got to see what a professional set looked like and meet new people that love acting as much as I do. My activities included many things, I would pretend to be studying or pretend to be queueing up at the canteen. Overall it was a fun experience.”

Supporting Local Businesses
Last weekend the North Site hall and gym were buzzing with stalls offering everything from jewellery and clothing to cupcakes and other tasty treats at a small business market. Former Cherwell student Claire Wiseman used lockdown in 2020 to create Oxfordshire’s Small Businesses, an online community where small, independent and local business owners can work together to promote their products. The hot, sunny weather was not the ideal forecast for indoor shopping, but the stall holders all made sales and contacts for future markets.
