Media Oscars at the Empire
On Monday 27th June, the Media Department hosted its annual Media Oscars event at Empire Cinemas in High Wycombe. The Media Department hired out one of their biggest cinema screens to showcase the video projects that the Year 12 and 13 media students have produced this year.
The quality of the work was superb; in fact, we were unable to show all the video pieces that have been produced this year as it amounts to over two and a half hours of content! We presented several awards celebrating the hard work that the students have put into their coursework this year – the full list of winners is below.

Music at GMS goes from strength to strength
It has been a busy term in the music department. In addition to many successes in the classroom and more progress this year than in my time at Great Marlow, there has been a significant amount of extra curricular work.
Over the last few weeks, we have been running a music competition at KS3, organised by Mr Beveridge. Students have been performing a piece of their choice, either as a soloist or as part of an ensemble (group). The participation levels have been extraordinary and our only difficulty is deciding which entries to put through to the next round. Significant numbers of students are using the music space to practice at breaks and lunchtimes, which is brilliant,
the only
problem we have had is when we have more students than space!
Our second music festival was held outside the new sixth form area on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 June at lunchtime with performances from students from each key stage. This was organised by the sixth former students as part of their BTEC qualification and proved to be an extremely popular event attended by many students and staff.
Our annual summer concert was held on Thursday 7 July in the school hall featuring performances from students in each key stage. Judging by the amount of people who attended it was, once again, very well received. We were so proud of all the students who took part.
Some members of the music department also performed for our Celebration of Success evening and the end of term assemblies.
The music for the
Celebration of Success was specially arranged to mark significant events that have happened during the school year and to pay tribute to a few special people.
