Our thanks to Elliot and Kayleigh from Loudmouth who spent the day with our Year 8s this week delivering the ‘Working for Marcus’ programme. Through theatre performance and workshops the programme covered issues such as child exploitation, knife crime, sexual exploitation, county lines, grooming and substance misuse.
Christmas Carol Service
Year 7 students attended the Christmas Carol Service at St Mary’s Church in Warwick this morning and enjoyed festive readings, carols and musical performances from some of our students. Well done to all our instrumentalists, vocalists and Sixth Form readers.
Thank you to all the parents, carers, governors and the Deputy Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Jackie D’Arcy and MP Matt Western for coming along and supporting this event. And special thanks to Reverend Canon Angus Aagaard for taking our service and St Mary’s Church for once again welcoming us so warmly.

Thank you to everyone who donated items.
Thank you!
Teachers and school staff were delighted to receive a donation of sweet treats this week from Year 8 parents. This was such a kind and thoughtful gesture and they have been much appreciated by staff throughout the school!

Visit from Coventry Poet Laureate John Bernard
Thank you to Coventry Poet Laureate John Bernard who delivered a number of assemblies to all of our students this week. John is a notable name in the spoken word scene with his blend of raw emotion, powerful storytelling and thought provoking insights. We hope John has inspired our students to find their voices through the art of poetry and music. John Bernard works alongside Guardian Ballers who will be working with Myton staff and pupils in the new year.
Vocal group visit to Warwick Hospital
Year 8 and 9 singers from our vocal group visited Warwick Hospital last week with representatives from Warwick – A Singing Town and charity Kissing it Better to entertain patients and staff with a mixture of popular songs and Christmas carols.
They hope to visit again in the New Year when a different group of students will have the opportunity to spread some musical cheer.
