Each of our Year 7 tutor groups have enjoyed a day at Windsor Castle over last week and this week bringing their classroom studies on William the Conqueror and the Norman Conquest to life! Not oly have they had a great, educational day out of school but they have lots of fun too! #WilliamTheConqueror #Year7 #WindsorCastle

Yesterday we welcomed over 40 employers in to school to hold mock interviews with our Year 11 and Year 13 students. This was a great opportunity for our students experience an authentic job interview from a wide range of business as well as to receive feedback on their CVs and is an integral part of our Work Ready agenda. Our visitors covered every area of business from Biochemistry to Journalism and everything in between! Huge thanks to all of the businesses who supported us with this event - it was a really fantastic afternoon. #WorkReady #Interviews #Year11 #Year13

We were delighted to welcome back some of last year's Year 11 cohort and their families for our annual GCSE Awards Evening. It was fantastic to be able to come together again to celebrate their achievements and award trophies. With words of encouragement, celebration and wisdom from our Headteacher, Ms Owoh and our Chair of Governors, Mrs Perkins, our invited guests and staff enjoyed a wonderful musical contribution from some of our current Year 10 Music students. #GCSEAwards #AwardsEvening #Year11

As a school community we came together this morning, both in person and virtually, in remembrance of those who served and continue to serve. Our short Service of Remembrance was held outside and was then live-streamed to every classroom in the school. Students and staff were invited to come to school today wearing their uniforms representing community groups they are part of which included Rainbows, Scouts, St John's Ambulance and Cadets. Staff who had previously served in the Forces joined in by wearing their medals with pride. Our thanks to our Head Girl, Eva for reading Ode of Remembrance, and also to Mr Darnell for his beautiful rendition of The Last Post. #RemembranceDay #RemembranceDay2025
