The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School

Even in the recent heat, the CVMS Gardening Club has been hard at work caring for their crops!

We're delighted to have new garden containers at school, giving our young gardeners even more space to grow and learn. We can't wait to see what they harvest!

This term, Fourth Form got hands-on with geography during river fieldwork along the River Pang!

Pupils investigated fluvial processes first-hand, collecting data and exploring how rivers shape the landscape. A fantastic opportunity to bring classroom learning to life and develop valuable fieldwork skills.

We are delighted to announce that this year's school production will be West Side Story.

Our talented pupils will take to the stage for three performances on 13, 14 and 15 July, bringing one of musical theatre's most iconic productions to life.

School productions are always a highlight of the academic year, showcasing the creativity, dedication and talent of our pupils. With tickets expected to be in high demand, we encourage families to book early to avoid disappointment.

It’s been a busy term for Vaughan geographers, taking their learning beyond the classroom and into the field.

From exploring the lived environment in Kensington and Chelsea and assessing the legacy of the 2012 Olympics in Stratford, to studying coastal management in Somerset and investigating river processes along the River Pang, students have been putting their geographical skills into practice.

This Friday, we’ll be celebrating the many cultures that make up our Cardinal Vaughan community.

Students are invited to wear clothing that reflects their culture and enjoy food from around the world, all while raising money for Aid to the Church in Need.

As we look forward to this year's celebrations, here's a throwback to some highlights from Culture Day 2025.

During half-term, four of our Lower Sixth History students attended a special Women of the Year Alumnae Network event, where they heard from Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich in conversation with historian and filmmaker Bea Lewkowicz.

A powerful and moving experience, giving students the opportunity to hear first-hand testimony and reflect on the importance of Holocaust remembrance.
