World Book Day
Our halls were transformed into a living library last week! We had so much fun hosting a World Book Day catwalk, giving our students and staff a chance to showcase their amazing book-inspired outfits.

SMS Reading Week
Year 7 and Year 9 helped out publishers Pan Macmillan in focus groups to explore how to get more young people involved in reading. It was fantastic to have a marketing team in school to explore new books. Thank you to the students who took part. #readingweek
As part of our Reading Week celebrations, Year 8 enjoyed a visit from Bonnie MacBird who writes Sherlock Holmes adventures.
We were also inspired by a composer who wrote a piece imagining what Holmes would play to himself whilst thinking about a case, performed by a fantastic violinist.
PTA Meeting Tomorrow
The next PTA meeting will be held tomorrow, Thursday 5 March, from 6:30-7:30pm at the High Street site.
Parents and carers of St Marylebone CE School Years 7-13 are welcome to attend.
Huge thanks to @MAKEarchitects for hosting our Year 9 RIBA team this afternoon! Our students are busy leveling up their model-making skills in a world-class studio as they prep for their final designs. The future of architecture is looking bright! #ArchitectureEducation #RIBAYouth #FutureArchitects

Mr Ward planned a hike/walk for students that happened this morning. Students came back refreshed for lunch #SMSSki26 #ImprovisedPlanning #BonusDay
As today is a bonus day with no skiing as originally planned, the teachers spent last night improvising a fab range of activities to keep students active & engaged. We are busy with a morning hike after breakfast, crochet skills, bracelet making, a 1hr quiz, movie and revision (+packing!) #SMSSki26
#SMSSki26, on the way to the slopes to this morning. The snowfall yesterday made today's conditions excellent
Thought for the day continues everyday. Technically still at a high altitude! Entirely written by students. Love the blend of their cross curricular knowledge (No bus mic - so students had to project their voices) #TFTD #MaryleboneTradition #SkiTripTradition #CommunitySpirit
Snowtubing evening #ApreSki #SMSSki26
