Lights, Camera, Class: Mia McKenna-Bruce’s Interview with My MGGS ! 🎬🎭
Reflecting on her time at MGGS, Mia shared, “I loved being at MGGS!” From MGGS classrooms to the big screen! 🌟 We were thrilled to catch up with BAFTA Rising Star and MGGS Alumni, Mia McKenna Bruce, in our latest Omnibus edition.
Mia’s journey from a school student to a successful actress is truly inspiring and a perfect reminder of our core mission: shaping minds, developing leaders, and securing futures for every student who walks through our doors.
On Monday, 6th July, we welcomed many of our school community to the private view of the Summer #Art and #DT Exhibition. Despite the extraordinarily hot weather, it was very well attended, with students and their families enjoying a light refreshment as they wandered around the spectacular display of GCSE and A-Level work across Art, #Craft and #Design, #GraphicDesign, #ProductDesign and #Textiles. They also got involved with our community art piece of a Magnolia Blossom Tree using finger painting and had the opportunity for photographs with our mobile photo booth.
We would like to thank the parents and carers of our young people for their ongoing support and wish our students the very best of luck with their results this summer. It has been an absolute pleasure seeing you through your studies in the Art and DT departments over the last year!

We are absolutely thrilled to share some wonderful feedback about two of our fantastic sixth form students, Nerissa G and Annabelle M!
The organisers of the recent Creative Arts in Diversity Festival reached out to let us know that our students were absolute superstars while volunteering. They blew everyone away with their professionalism, enthusiasm, and exceptional customer service.
The festival team shared: "They represented your school very well... They approached every task with enthusiasm, kindness, and a positive attitude. We would love to work with your students again!"
They’ve even been invited back to help out at an upcoming winter fashion show!
A huge well done to Nerissa and Annabelle for demonstrating our core values so brilliantly out in the community. You have made the whole #MGGS community incredibly proud! 💙
Massive congratulations to one of our incredibly talented MGGS Sixth Formers, Emilia L, in #Year12, for an outstanding performance in roller skating at the EAST Open Competition!
She completely dominated the rink, skating away with 1st place in the Open Standard Solo Dance and another 1st place in the Bronze Level Duos with her teammate! 🏆✨
We are so proud of her dedication and can't wait to cheer her on at the British Championships later this year! 🇬🇧
"Last weekend I competed at the EAST open competition at Haywards Heath, achieving an amazing 1st place in open standard solo dance, as well as another 1st place in bronze level duos with my teammate. I started skating when I was 10 years old at Kent Artistic Roller Dance Club, but I have since moved to Medway Roller Dance Club around 3 years ago and am so grateful for all the support and training I have received over the years! I am competing in the promotional dance British championships later this year, and am excited to see further progress and results!"
On Tuesday 7th July, we welcomed 35 excited dancers from Allington Primary School for a tech rehearsal ahead of the MGGS Dance Festival we are holding next week!
Our own students, Elara, Freya and Narita helped the dancers refine their ‘La La Land’ number, whilst Violet, Kiya and Florence helped the dancers helped with the upbeat “Stomp” dance!
Whilst the dancers rehearsed, Katie did all of the fantastic tech and her brilliant lighting designs complemented the costumes and storytelling!
We are so excited to welcome the dancers and their parents, carers and family back next week for their final performance!
Huge congratulations to #Year8 students Jenna L and Olivia G, who have received awards in the Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators 2026!This national competition is run annually by the Queen’s Translation Exchange at the University of Oxford, challenging students to showcase their creativity and linguistic skills.
At #MGGS, we are passionate about modern foreign languages with all of our students study French alongside either German or Spanish, and it is fantastic to see Jenna and Olivia excelling on a national stage.
Well done to both of you on this brilliant achievement!
Every year, the Diversity Ambassadors at MGGS plan a range of activities to celebrate this month and raise awareness about LGBTQ+ matters.
We started off with a tutor time activity that involved matching up a series of flags, on Thursday, 22nd June, we organised the big MGGS picnic on the field. This was a perfect opportunity to run another student forum. The question asked was ‘How do we discuss LGBTQ+ issues in school? ’
Two representatives from Just Like Us joined our conversation and helped our students articulate their questions and feelings. The students came up with various suggestions and comments: being supportive being appreciative of everyone’s individual identity being yourself organising more events like the picnic looking at scenarios discussing ‘labels’ and their impact
Thanks to our partnership with Just Like Us - the Year 9 & 10 students attended an extended assembly on 29th June led by Ella - one of the charity’s ambassadors - who shared her personal story & journey. It was humbling and inspiring to listen to a young woman explaining how she navigated her teenage years and young adulthood, finding her identity and having the courage to be who she is. This month is a perfect opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing support from Mrs Jenkins - Head of Art - who has created a safe space over the years for students to come and discuss LGBTQ+ matters through the KS3 PRIDE Club and Kaleidoscope, dedicated to students from Year 10 and above.
We welcomed Dr Locke last week to present an assembly to the #Year 7 and #Year8 students about the fantastic work they do in the Swale community to raise aspirations and support girls and women to fulfil their potential. Dr Locke told us about some of the young women that the charity has helped over the years and the positive impact on their lives and prospects.
It was an inspiring assembly that reminded us of the importance of having positive female role models around us and the opportunities that Education offers. This academic year we fundraised almost £500 for Diversity House and this assembly is, I hope, the start of a collaboration with a local charity whose ethos matches the values of our school community.
