✨ Year 11 Prom 2026 – A Night to Remember ✨
Last week, our Year 11 students celebrated their prom at Shrewsbury Town Football Club, marking the end of an important chapter in their school journey.

The evening was filled with fantastic music, plenty of dancing, enthusiastic singalongs, and lots of memorable moments. Students looked incredible and conducted themselves impeccably throughout the event, making it a truly special occasion for everyone involved.

We were also delighted to present a number of special awards, including Best Outfit, Kindest Student, and Most Likely to Change the World, recognising some of the wonderful qualities that make this year group so special.

As we say a final farewell to our Year 11s, we would like to thank them for the positive contribution they have made to our school community. We wish every one of them the very best for the future and look forward to hearing about their many successes in the years ahead.
Congratulations, Year 11 – and thank you for giving us such a fantastic evening to remember! 🎉

STEAM Club has been full of excitement as students explored the question: “What are our favourite sweets – and why?”

After conducting surveys and creating bar charts, students investigated how and why our taste buds respond differently to various sweets and ice creams. As part of their journey into food science, they tested the acidity of different samples using a universal indicator, carefully controlling the mass and volume of distilled water in each experiment.

Fantastic work from everyone involved! 👏 Students also discovered that sweets containing citric acid can lower temperature (an endothermic reaction) and even react with ingredients like bicarbonate of soda to produce carbon dioxide, that fizzy sensation you get from sherbet!

Scientists In The Making!
Our Year 7 students ALL earned Lesson Grade 1 (outstanding) during this lesson! Our naturally curious scientists asked about chemical solutions (a mixture of a solvent with a solute dissolved in it). We picked the best question to investigate: “is it salt?”. Students used separation techniques like filtration and evaporation to make crystals and prove that salt (sodium chloride) was in their solution.
