Around 600 local Primary school pupils joined us this year for Curriculum Week to experience taster sessions in subjects that are often only available at secondary school.

In Music, students amazed themselves by learning to play basic guitar chords in just one session, and in our Science Department, students enjoyed a variety of challenges including rocket-making in Chemistry and the hugely popluar Crime Scene Investigation, which offered an exciting insight into the world of Forensics. In teams, pupils gathered evidence from the crime scene "police style' and worked together to conclude what had happened.

In Drama, pupils joined one of our famous Dance classes to learn a choreographed dance routine with a Brazilian theme inspired by our exchange project; and in Food Technology, they learned about the impact of good nutrition on health and prepared their own healthy snack pots. Pupils also got active in a variety of sports sessions including Football skills, Trampolining and Kick Boxing Training, which was great fun!

Taster sessions were also delivered in English, Maths, Creative Media, French, Business Studies, Geography, History, ICT, Photography and Art. Visitors to our Art Department created hundreds of individually designed and beautifully painted 3D flowers which will soon form a unique collaborative sculpture.
