Wishing all the best to our Y13 Music Performance students who have organised their own gig taking place at the Gerard Arms tonight! 🎸🥁🎹
The event is all part of their assessment, with music from student bands and vocalists from Cowley Sixth Form and other young musicians from the area.
If you don't have a ticket, we're afraid the event is SOLD OUT. Well done to the students for selling the full allocation of tickets in advance.

🌍✈️ An unforgettable experience!
You may remember that three of our Y12 MFL students recently undertook a week of work experience abroad in France.
Here's an account from one of the students:
"I loved every second of it. There were only 7 of us in the group in total, 3 from Cowley, so we all clicked really quickly.
"We all got to stay with a French family, and mine was with 2 of the other students. Our family were so kind that they even invited us back! The family had 7 kids, the mother, and the father. However, we only met two, plus a foreign student (who still spoke fluent French) studying at the local university.
"They are still in contact with us, especially because they're similar ages to us, between 17 to 20. It's so beneficial to have contact with real French people, which will be perfect for practicing French.
"In terms of the work experience, my work experience was in Human Resources in a hospital. The other students were working in bars, restaurants, and hotels.
"It was so interesting to hear and understand the difference between language used in a workplace setting compared to an informal, family setting.
"This is exactly why I love studying French at Cowley Sixth Form because in what other lesson do you get to do this?"
