We would like to congratulate our students for achieving another positive set of results and for all of the hard work they invested in their studies in Year 10 and Year 11.

Well done to our Sixth Form students for achieving another fantastic set of results in Summer 2019.

Over 80 of our new starters joined us at our Transition Summer School this year. Following two days in school, 61 students then enjoyed a free, three-day adventure holiday at Winmarleigh Hall Adventure Centre in Lancashire.

In the last week of term, twelve specially selected students in Years 10 and 11 enjoyed a unique trip to Spain, which allowed them to experience the spectacular sights, cuisine and culture of both Madrid and Barcelona.

Our annual Academy Sports Day was an outstanding demonstration of determination and sportsmanship as young athletes in all year groups competed in a variety of track events from sprints to relays.

Our Business Studies Department works hard to make sure that students have the very best learning experience; this means enlisting the help of local businesses.

Last term, Year 11 students celebrated the end of exams at a glamorous Prom event, which was held at Wynyard Hall.
