Huge congratulations to our Year 7 Girls who won the Basketball county final and are now County Champions 🏀🏆🥰💜🧡

The girls were truly amazing and showed so much grit and determination! Most have never played before and learnt so much this season, I am very proud of them!  J Aston – Head of PE

Geography GCSE gives students the phenomenal opportunity to explore their local environment. They have to conduct 2 pieces of fieldwork over the course of their GCSE. This will be examined in paper 3 and is worth 30% of their over all grade. In this piece of fieldwork we were looking at a small scale ecosystem and investigating whether ‘ Evington arboretum is well managed.’ All students were brilliant in how they conducted themselves and their enthusiasm highlighted their enjoyment of outdoor learning.  Mrs. Hallam – Teacher of Geography

Years 7 + 9 have spent this week at the Briars – Year 9 Mon-Wed and Year 7, Wed-Friday.

The Briars work with young people from all across the diocese offering our young people the opportunity to step out of their everyday life, to focus on their relationship with themselves, each other and with God.  Days are packed with team building, teaching, prayer, fun and smiles all round! Our thanks to Deacon Seamus; Mr. Morbey; Ms. Pinel; Miss McManus and Mrs. Patel for accompanying the students.

‘There’s something fishy going on in Year 9 GCSE Food Preparation & Nutrition lessons!  Today the students learnt how to fillet fish and then practise their plating techniques. 

Our English department, Librarian and student members of book club, embraced the opportunity to celebrate World Book Day.

Ash Wednesday, marks the first day of Lent.  A Holy day of prayer where  staff and students across all year groups, will attend Liturgies with the blessing and distribution of ashes. ✝️
