  • International Day of Languages

    Published 08/10/19
    We had a fantastic few days celebrating 'International Day of Languages'. Year 7 and Year 8 had assemblies about the importance of languages and Year 7 saw a group of students sing in Spanish.
     The cakes that students, parents and staff made were amazing. As a result, we have raised close to £90 for the Ecuador trip so far!
    Thank you all so much for the support.

  • Welcome Year 7!

    Published 16/09/19

    I am delighted to say that Year 7 have made an incredibly impressive start in The Bridge. They have demonstrated great resilience and maturity which is a wonderful start to the fantastic year ahead.

    On the first day, the students had a tour of the school and had their first secondary school photo taken, which parents can purchase online. https://schools.lafayettephotography.com

    I am so proud to see our Year 7s wear their uniform with such pride. We have already identified some incredible rugby players who will be working with Mr Garlick to prepare for competitions in the city, and Mrs Arnett was very impressed by our up and coming thespians who will be performing 'Othello' in November. I am very excited about what this term will bring.

    Congratulations to all of Year 7 students who have made a truly positive and successful start to their time at President Kennedy School.

    Director of The Bridge, Mrs Alexander-Weller

  • Year 7 Football Team Win West Midlands Cup!

    Published 01/07/19

    The Year 7 football team completed a historic double on Saturday when they beat Bishop Ullathorne 2-1, to win the inaugural U12 West Midlands Cup, adding to the Coventry cup they had already won.

     

    President Kennedy School found themselves 1-0 down after 5 minutes and struggled to get into the game until a fabulous free kick from Daryl pulled the scores level.

    It was now all President Kennedy, and chance after chance was created before Michael Akata slotted home from the edge of the box. We continued to dominate, but couldn't find a third, which made for a nervy final few minutes, before scenes of jubilation at the final whistle.

    Well done to all the boys for a fantastic season.

    Mr Garlick, P.E Department

    Published 01/07/19

    Some excellent news in Year 8 Geography with my last project group.

    At the end of the last rotation, the group wrote a letter to David Attenborough to explain everything they had been taught in the Anthropocene topic and how shocked they were at some of the human impacts on the natural world.

    I posted the letter to David Attenborough and was thrilled to see a response!
