    Following these successes in sport and chess came a truly wonderful afternoon on Thursday when then ‘acts’ from our older pupils performed in ‘Ridgeway's Got Talent’. There were singers, dancers, musicians and comedians, all excellent in their different ways. The ‘stand out’ winner, however, was Raphael Conte (5G) whose performance on the electric violin was stunning. Very well done Raphael. It was an outstanding performance which we will look forward to hearing again.

    Petit Dejeuner for Ridgeway's year 5

    Year 5 pupils at Ridgeway greatly enjoyed their French breakfast — as you can see, the waiters were truly authentic and all enjoyed the experience — of course the chocolate croissants wouldn't have had much to do with it — would they?

    Another terrific success was recorded by our Chess team last Friday. Playing against many older boys, Ridgeway beat Papplewick School 6½ to 1½ — a thumping victory! Well done.

    George Saunders, Ben Rodman and Ben Westwood took their presentation on ‘The Nature of the Oil Industry’ to the next level in Marlow last Thursday evening. The three Year 11 boys challenged their audience once again, to consider the true price of fuel with their question: "Is the price of oil, really too high?"

    Their delivery was excellent, though they were pipped into second place. All three received the compliments of the judges and the congratulations of many for choosing to address an issue of true importance and substance.

    A2 Drama Moderation at Norden Farm was outstanding. Abi Davies, Alice Penn, Chris Forte and Tobi Stubbs performed their own devised piece portraying the powerful and emotional representations of characters facing death. They were supported by Elliot Stokes and Josh Harris on the technical side. The audience certainly left the theatre impressed and with a great deal of food for thought!

    Young Enterprise — Quantum Team

    Quantum had a successful day last Saturday at the Nicholson's Shopping Centre in Maidenhead where they marketed their range of personalised products. Whilst they impressed the judges, unfortunately they did not win the Trade Fair Cup but this is just one stage of the whole competition and they are ready to fight the next stage.
