Our Art students have been getting creative with mono printing experiments. This expressive technique allows students to create unique prints by making marks on a smooth surface before transferring their design onto paper. Each print can only be pulled once, encouraging bold choices, confidence and creativity.
It has been fantastic to see students exploring mark making, layering and texture, and really pushing their ideas further. Their enthusiasm and willingness to experiment shines through in their outcomes 🎨✨👏

Our Year 7 scientists have been buzzing!
They explored the fascinating world of pollination, discovering just how vital insects are to our ecosystem. Students investigated how pollen fertilises an ovule to create a new seed, deepening their understanding of the life cycle of plants. It was wonderful to see such curiosity and great scientific thinking in action 🌼🔬✨

Our Year 7 scientists have been busy studying germination and they have done a brilliant job. They confidently identified their independent variable (volume of water), dependent variable (number of seeds that germinated) and control variables (number of seeds, type of seeds, mass of cotton wool). Lots of accurate measuring and counting took place and they really showed how much we love maths in science 🌱🔬✨

Our Travel and Tourism students have been stepping into the role of real researchers. Using open ended questions, they gathered qualitative insights as part of their course, plenty of curiosity, great conversations and learning that felt genuinely real and fun.
It has been fantastic to see them develop confidence in their communication skills while exploring how research is used in the travel and tourism industry. 🌍📝✨

Our Year 7 students made some lovely cakes, which they are excited to decorate at home with cream and jam! 🍰✨
Our Year 10s have also been busy learning the art of sauce making. The focus was on creating a roux. Every student successfully made a smooth white sauce, added cheese, and then chose what to make with it. We had Mac and Cheese, Lasagne, cauliflower and broccoli cheese and lots of other delicious pasta dishes. A fantastic effort from everyone! 👏🧀💛

Our Year 9 students are getting creative!
They are currently working on an exciting business marketing project, developing their own new ice cream flavour. Using both primary and secondary research, they have been exploring customer preferences through questionnaires, analysing competitor data, and designing their own packaging, slogans and branding.
We cannot wait to see their innovative ideas come to life 🍦✨👏

Year 9 students have taken part in an exciting and dynamic STEM Tower Building Exercise led by the Royal Navy Youth Engagement Team. The challenge was designed to help our young people build vital skills in teamwork, communication, leadership and problem solving, while also giving them an insight into the global responsibilities of the Royal Navy.
Students were given a scenario: the Captain of HMS Sutherland had ordered their team to travel to a nearby island to provide urgent humanitarian support. On arrival, they discovered their inflatable craft had been punctured, leaving them stranded. To call for help from the fleet 50 miles offshore, they needed to build a radio tower strong enough to transmit a signal.
Working in small teams, they had just 20 minutes to plan, build and reinforce their tower before a simulated hurricane tested its strength. The challenge encouraged critical thinking, calm communication under pressure and adaptability as obstacles were introduced.
Across two days, every Year 9 student took part. The Royal Navy team praised their creativity, resilience and enthusiasm, and staff were incredibly proud of the maturity, teamwork and excellent behaviour shown throughout. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to explore engineering concepts while deepening their understanding of the diverse roles within the Royal Navy, from humanitarian assistance to global operations. 🌍⚓💡

Here are our brilliant Year 7 students showing off their excellent dissection skills.
After learning the names and functions of the different parts of flowering plants, they put their knowledge into action by carefully dissecting and labelling each part.
A great hands on way to deepen their understanding of plant biology 🌼🔬✨
