The Sir John Colfox School in Bridport has been awarded the British Council’s prestigious International School Award in recognition of its work to bring the world into the classroom.

Congratulation to Eloise Levien F9MYD and Georgia Clarke H7NM, who were prize winners in a competition organised for all Bridport schools. All students in year 7, 8 and 9 entered the competition from Colfox.  Many thanks to the art department for their work in this project. The girls received their prize at the Bull Hotel who sponsored the event. The cards will be on sale throughout Bridport in aid of Julia House.

In October this Year Colfox had a go at ‘The Most Absurd Xmas Musical in the World……….  Ever’  A play whose title is inspired by those music records we all used to buy.  It follows the story of the Bower of Bliss where Santa stops visiting on Christmas Eve and Double Agents have to venture into ‘Baddie Land’ with Hansel and Gretel in order to retrieve the ‘carrot’ that will persuade him to return. They encounter a witch who longs to be a Lyricist and have her songs, written by the very talented musician Bianca Beauty (daughter of Sleeping Beauty) and all ends well when Santa, after hearing the songs is tempted to return to The Bower of Bliss.

The script, written by Mark Wheeller has lots of opportunities for pantomime like puns, stock characters and, of course, a happy ‘alls-well-that-ends-well’ ending.  The play has all types of songs from ‘The Carroty Blues, a big Christmas number by all the Cast and a rock and roll song about Halloween – perfect timing for the show’s run 18-20th October. 

All year groups were represented in performance and with production and it was great to see Year Sevens taking part within the first six weeks of joining us as well as BTEC Performing Arts students taking on the role of ‘Baddie Land Dancers’.

Mr Bray excelled himself in designing some amazing special effects this year and Lucie Trollope made her debut as an Assistant Director.  We had very supportive audiences and were pleased to see current Year 6s from local primary schools for the first performance.

We will no longer be selling the old uniform (except for Year 11) and it is therefore assumed that as soon as students in current Years 7, 8 and 9 have outgrown their uniform that they will buy the new uniform. 

For Year 11, they can buy the old uniform for one year rather than having to change to the new uniform.

Please see below for more information on the Uniform changes and copies of the New School Uniform Order Forms and Sports Kit Order Forms.
