Year 6 recently took part in an exciting outdoor debate exploring the merits and challenges of sailing around the world! Inspired by their class text Kensuke’s Kingdom, pupils worked thoughtfully in teams to prepare arguments both for and against Michael and his family’s decision to set off on their voyage. They showed fantastic speaking and listening skills, shared their ideas confidently, and respectfully challenged each other’s viewpoints. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm for learning — and even better that they could enjoy debating their ideas together in the fresh air! Well done, Year 6 👏

As part of National Science Week, our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils took on an exciting challenge during their Design & Technology lessons, exploring a science topic they were curious about. They designed and created their own exhibition stands to present their findings, proudly showcasing their work to Year 9 pupils. The standard was incredibly high, with some truly imaginative, thoughtful, and creative displays on show. A huge well done to all of our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils for their enthusiasm, effort, and fantastic work — you should be very proud!

Just before the Easter break, Year 6 explored a range of Chinese inventions in their DT lessons, including paper, water clocks and kites. They then designed and made their own animal-themed kites and had great fun testing them outside - see the photos of their fantastic creations in action! Well done, Year 6!

Getting ready for the athletics season!

Our senior production of Ella’s Wedding took on a modern, and at times thought-provoking, take on a familiar story, with pupils delivering a confident and engaging performance throughout. We were incredibly proud of the maturity, teamwork and creativity shown on stage. Well done to everyone involved!
