🎉 Celebrating Achievement!
We are proud to share the success of Kemil and Leo, who have both completed six weeks on our MATislands Fix Programme.
Through this programme, they gained their Level 1 Motor Vehicle qualification and even explored the world of electrical engineering.
The MATislands Fix Programme is designed to give students hands-on experience and insight into workplace opportunities that could be available to them after school.

🔬 Science in Action at SA!
Our Year 8 students have been actively engaged in practical investigations in our state-of-the-art labs. They explored a range of unidentified chemicals using different indicators – substances that change colour when added to acidic or alkaline solutions.
Hands-on learning like this not only enhances understanding but also encourages teamwork and communication. It’s fantastic to see our students collaborating and our educators fostering a sense of shared learning and community.

🌍 World Cuisine and Pastry Perfection!
Our Year 8 students have kicked off their world cuisine journey by exploring the flavours of Mexico – and what better way to start than with some delicious chilli con carne?
Meanwhile, Year 10 are honing their skills for GCSE Food Technology. It’s all about shortcrust pastry. From jam tarts and apple pies to sausage rolls (with some adventurous twists like chillies, peppers and even black pudding!), the creativity has been amazing.
Next up – flaky pastry! We can’t wait to see what our talented bakers create.

🔬 Brilliant Science and STEAM in action this term!
Year 8 created their own indicators and compared them with universal indicator and litmus to test for acids, neutrals and alkalis. They linked this to cosmetic chemistry, the food industry and their recent salt-making experiments, showing excellent practical skills and higher-level thinking.
💡 STEAM Club engineered lava lamps to explore the density of immiscible liquids, then discussed how emulsifiers help create smooth dressings, creams and lotions. They also focused on product design and built mini LED circuits to light up their lamps.
🍊 Our Year 8 physicists investigated whether satsumas sink or float. They formed hypotheses, observed air escaping as peel was removed, measured mass and volume using water displacement, and calculated density to explain why segments sink and peel floats.
