Kimba's Visit Inspires Creativity

Posted on: March 11th 2025

Am1ery Library hosted an exciting author visit in March – Kimba Bush - a performance poet and rapper. Kimba uses the power of words to paint pictures that capture hope, build confidence, and inspire creativity. Our students in Year 7 and 8 were thoroughly impressed by Kimba’s rapping performance, during which he wowed everyone, including the staff, with his ability to weave magic with verse.

Kimba then delivered a series of bespoke poetry workshops to a select number of Year 7, 8 and 9 students. Here, he asked the students to think of things they valued, such as family, friends, pets, books, films, etc. With Kimba’s guidance, and his freestyle rapping, students produced their own verse, empowered by Kimba’s example.

Year 11 Prom: A Sparkling Send-Off

What an evening! On June 25th, Amery Hill School's Year 11 students celebrated the end of their five momentous years with an unforgettable Prom at the magnificent Audley's Wood Hotel. It truly was a magical occasion from start to finish, a fitting tribute to a group of students who have navigated their secondary education with such spirit and determination. The evening began with a dazzling red carpet reception, a spectacle in itself! It was truly magical. The red carpet arrivals were a spectacle, with students making grand entrances in everything from tractors to sports cars, reflecting their vibrant personalities. Dressed in their finest attire, everyone looked absolutely stunning, radiating pride and joy as they stepped out onto the red carpet to pose for photos and greet their friends (and not an untucked shirt in sight!). It set an incredible tone for the night, filled with laughter and anticipation. Inside the stunning marquee, the atmosphere was simply electric. The air buzzed with happy chatter and excitement as students, reunited, shared stories, and soaked in the final moments of their school journey together. The dance floor quickly became the heart of the celebration, packed with everyone on their feet, dancing their hearts out to a fantastic mix of tunes. The students enjoyed a delicious BBQ buffet and let's not forget the endless supply of ice cream and the nostalgic ferris wheel pick 'n' mix. Everyone was fueled up for a fantastic evening.  Speaking about the evening, Mrs Winch, Progress Leader, commented "Whether the students were dancing to the DJ or enjoying the staff band, it was a pleasure to see them all on the dance floor enjoying themselves and creating unforgettable memories together. Our very last time as a year group, united.  I think you showed us all how to party!"  With heartfelt goodbyes, it was truly a perfect finale to their time at Amery Hill, a night where friendships were celebrated and cherished memories were made. This Year 11 Prom will undoubtedly remain etched in the hearts of the students as a cherished memory of their school years. Amery Hill School is incredibly proud of all they have achieved, not just academically, but in how they've grown into such remarkable young individuals. They've navigated challenges, supported each other, and shown incredible resilience throughout their time at the school. As they now move on to their next exciting adventures – whether that's further education, apprenticeships, or embarking on new paths – all of us at Amery Hill wish them the very best of luck. The school knows they're destined for great things and can't wait to see the wonderful contributions they'll make in the world. Good luck, Year 11 – you've been brilliant!
