On Friday 12 December we had our very first student to student panel where over 30 of our Year 13 students representing a subject they study at A level was paired with an Year 12 student studying the same subject.
This was a great opportunity for our Year 13 students to reflect on their public exams and what they will implement ahead of their second public examination in February 2026, the habitats they would develop and also what they would do to look after their wellbeing during the examination period. This was also a great experience for our Year 12’s, who will go onto this Christmas break to revise for their mid-year exams which will take place in January 2026 and it was very helpful for them to be able to ask various questions to the Year 13 students.

On Tuesday 9 December, the combined science Year 11 class undertook a cross curricular activity, using what they have learned in biology class on variation and preparation of genetically modified food, and put it into practice by preparing two different pizza toasts, one made from genetically modified tomato puree, the other, from organic puree that students prepared themselves by chopping and grinding tomatoes. Then they applied different toppings as shown in the images below. A big thanks to Dr Mahmood and Mrs Merghani for organising this session.
