Following our win at the Regional Final and subsequent success at the National Robotics Final in 2016, we have launched a new after-school Robotics Club for students in Years 7-9 who are interested in developing skills in programming and coding.

A group of our Year 9 students, who are all members of our Girls Active group, are currently planning a range of fundraising activiites to support their upcoming trip to Wimbledon in July.

It is always a glitzy evening when our Annual Prize Evening takes place, with a large number of students being recognised for their achievement in their studies.

By special invitation, Year 10 students, Kyle B. and Marshall G., accompanied by Year 13 student, Harriet E., have recently attended a four day work placement with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in Stratford.

Two of our talented Year 10 students, Abbi S and Marshall G, have claimed 8th place in the 'National Cipher Challenge', which attracts thousands of participants from across the UK alongside many international competitors.

A-Level Maths students have achieved one gold and two bronze awards in this year's UKMT Senior Maths Challenge.

Religious Studies students have recently enjoyed a day trip to Manchester to advance their knowledge on a number of topics which they had been studying and debating in class.

As part of their BTEC courses, Business Studies students and Travel and Tourism students in Year 10 have visited York to conduct research into promotional strategies for building a business, and how UK cities attract tourists.

Following a whole-school campaign, we have delivered an excellent 22 boxes of groceries to Woodhouse Close Community Food Bank to help support local families this Christmas.

Thanks to the generosity of our students and staff, we have filled an amazing 38 boxes for the Rotary Shoebox Scheme, which will be distributed to people in Eastern Europe who live in a world of poverty.
