Go Green for Grenfell

‘It was with pleasure that Bishop Stopford’s welcomed Rudolph Walker OBE to an assembly on the 4th May, to launch the preparations for Bishops to defend their title at RWISDA in July this year. Bishop’s are lucky to have such amazing talent amongst their pupils which is nurtured by all the staff at the school. Bishops have indeed won the RWISDA on two occasions in 2012 and then again in 2016 and they are looking to make it the treble, albeit they know to top last year’s performance is going to take a lot of hard work, imagination and creativity.

The Year 10 Football Team were the first team in recent history to make it to a Borough Cup Final after a fantastic run beating some good schools on the way. The final was against Enfield Grammar school and the team did extremely well but were beaten 4-2 in a very competitive game. The boys were a credit to their school and very gracious in defeat knowing they had put everything into the game. They should be very proud of their achievement.
Happy Easter
As you are probably aware from items on the news the government have announced plans to make improving mental health a priority.
The Year 10 Basketball team continued their amazing unbeaten run by winning the Year 10 Borough Competition to go with their wins in Year 8 and Year 9. They Won all of their 6 group games with efficiency, teamwork and incredible skill and this put them in the Final against Edmonton County. The group game between the two was a very close affair with the Final continuing in the same way until 3 consecutive 3 points gave Bishops a healthy lead which never came under threat.

In order to commemorate this significant day, the school council have planned a series of events that highlight the significance of women throughout history and in the world today. Over the coming week, as well as learning about the contributions of women to the subjects that we study, students will be considering issues of inequality and the experience of women around the world. Students will have the opportunity to take part in debates, whole school competitions and fund raising activities, all of which will focus on this important global issue.
