Clearly STEAM Club has not heard the advice to never play with matches, but our brilliant crew know exactly how to investigate them safely.
This week they raised a match drawbridge to release a coin using science. When the two match heads touched and ignited, the heat caused one side to burn faster than the other which made the match bend. A very cool trick that can be tried at home with adult supervision π₯
Students then explored how far apart matches need to be to prevent ignition chain reactions and marked the start of 2026 together.

π¦ Year 9 are taking on a delicious business brief, inventing an original ice cream flavour from scratch.
From market research and target audiences to eye catching packaging, logos, colour palettes and brand stories, they are thinking like real product teams, building creativity, problem solving and enterprise confidence along the way π‘
Weβre already seeing imaginative flavours and professional looking designs that would turn heads on any supermarket shelf π

π₯ Year 8 have been busy investigating which foods provide the highest energy per 100g. After studying food packaging, they discovered that crisps are absolutely packed with energy.
Their next lesson took an exciting turn when students were told about a possible school trip to a beautiful desert island where they would be scuba diving, swimming and playing cricket and rounders on the beach. Realising they would need high energy snacks, they were given a selection of crisps to test. The only problem was that the packaging had mysteriously gone missing.
Undeterred, our students designed and carried out their own investigation to work out which snack would keep them going the longest.
Their results were clear. Monster Munch was the winner ποΈπ

π¬ We just canβt resist a good science investigation! Our brilliant Year 9s have been exploring resistance in different components within a series circuit. Itβs fantastic to see them confidently setting up circuits, recalling the rules theyβve learned and developing strong problem solving skills. When the current didnβt flow, they worked systematically to check each component and even earned Merits for helping others and reinforcing their own learning.
Our Year 7s have also been busy in their βEarthβ topic, creating solar system models and producing impressive planet fact files. They then let their imaginations take flight by writing postcards from space. A few even reported being a bit sunburnt on Venus despite their cleverly designed life support equipment!
Take a look at the amazing learning happening across our Science curriculum.

βοΈWhat a start to 2026! After not one but two snow days, the closures followed a real battering from Storm Goretti. There was around 10cm of snow across the site and it made for some absolutely stunning views of our brand new STEM block.
The second photo even captured the moon and Jupiter glowing together in the western sky β a beautiful moment on a very chilly morning βοΈβ¨

Our first group of Year 10s have started the new term by continuing their yeast cookery work and the results look delicious π
Students made their own pizza dough from scratch and chose their own toppings to finish them off. One student even went the extra mile by blanching fresh tomatoes and creating their own sauce with herbs and purΓ©e.
We definitely think these pizzas are far better than a takeaway. Well done Year 10!
