When Mrs D takes year 11 to see three mysterious figures enter the stage to watch an innovative modern version of Macbeth! Imitating the dog brings their inventive style of storytelling to Shakespeare’s tragic tale of ambition, destiny and downfall. #Cognitaway

Today our extraordinary woman is Mary Shelley (1797–1848), daughter of women’s rights advocate and writer, Mary Wollstonecraft. Between 1816 and 1817, Shelley worked on her novel Frankenstein in Bath. In 1818 the novel was published anonymously in London. #internationalwomensday

Congratulations to the @Lionesses on winning the @WEURO2022. You are terrific role models to all. At CPHS, we believe that sport should be inclusive of all and are so proud of our own Maddy, who plays for England Under 17 and Arsenal and inspires so many of our own girls.
