EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS
In recognition of Human Rights Day on 10th December, four students from Hillview School for Girls in Tonbridge were invited to attend a reception held at the Speakers House alongside MPs and peers in aid of human rights action through Amnesty International’s ‘Write for Rights’ campaign. The purpose of the event was to encourage Parliamentarians to take action and to raise awareness of the work of Amnesty International UK activists. Attending the event were high profi le politicians including Labour
Leader Jeremy Corbyn, Ann Clwyd, David Lammy and Speaker of the House John Bercow MP.
As part of Hillview’s Amnesty
International Youth Club, the school’s students – Maddie Checkley, Heather Maxwell, Melissa Bailey and Yasmine Malik, along with their youth group leader and English teacher, Catherine Bishop – were one of only two youth groups selected to attend the event.

SPACE to Dream From the youngest to the most senior pupils at Holmewood House, the aim is the same – to offer a broad range of stimulating opportunities that allow the children to gain exciting experiences, to enjoy time with their friends and make new ones, to develop the confi dence to branch out, to learn new skills, unearth untapped talents and, importantly, to have fun while doing so.
Happy and engaged children, inside and outside the classroom, is what a great school is all about. Come and see the enthusiasm of our pupils at any time and we are sure you will agree.

Amanda McHugh, Mayfi eld School
A sixth form prefect and house captain, Amanda McHugh, from Tunbridge Wells, joined Mayfi eld School in Year 7 initially as a day pupil and became a boarder in Year 11. During her time at Mayfi eld, Amanda
has relished the opportunities to explore and cultivate her interests both inside and beyond the classroom. From debating to choral singing, languages to orchestra, Amanda has embraced school life at Mayfi eld and enjoys and excels in a wide range of activities.
Last term was a particularly busy one for Amanda and also very enjoyable, varied and successful. She focused on her university applications, Cambridge entrance exam and interview preparation,
as well as her A-level studies in history, English literature, French and music. She also played a very active role in the wider life of the school. She led her house team to the Inter-House debating fi nals, in which she competed with conviction and commitment. She also composed, arranged and performed music to accompany the school’s acclaimed production of Bronte, which was staged in November, and she played a key role in the school’s Christmas music concert. Amanda has Grade 8 distinction in singing and is working towards her diploma. She also plays the cello in the school orchestra and string trio. Her talent, hard work and
commitment were rewarded with an offer to read linguistics at Cambridge and Amanda is
naturally delighted at the prospect and full of gratitude for the inspiration and support she has received from staff and her fellow pupils at Mayfi eld. “Without the support system and encouragement that I receive here, from my peers and my teachers alike, I would not have been able to get where I am now and be on such an exciting trajectory and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities Mayfi eld has given to me.”
