On Friday, our Year 9 students took part in a special assembly delivered by the Year 9 Team to help students get a better understanding of their GCSE options and how to make an informed decision about their future learning. They also had the opportunity to hear from their peers in Year 10 and 12 who offered some useful tips and advice about choosing their options. At the end of the assembly the Year 9’s wanted to say a special thank you to Ms Ryan for all the wonderful work she does to support them. It was wonderful to see how much students appreciate the hard work their teachers put in to support their learning and their everyday wellbeing! (more…)

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.
