Activities Week 2024

A fabulous end to the academic year. What a huge range of opportunities on offer for our students! We love how, through Activities Week, we are able to provide chances to build our students cultural capital, chances for our students to learn new skills and chances for our students to make and build friendships. All while having fun and making memories! We’re so grateful for all those venues who welcomed our students this week, and to all the staff and parents whose massive efforts enable our annual Activities Weeks to be possible. This one was another awesome week to be remembered! Thank you!! 🙏💜 #VeryProudToBePurple #ActivitiesWeek2024

Maths Trip to Italy

Some members of the maths department and sixth form maths students have been exploring some amazing mathematical sights during May half term in Italy. From angles of construction at the Leaning Tower of Pisa to an exploration of the works of the incredible Polymath Leonardo Da Vinci in Florence. They have also been exploring more sights in this beautiful city. From the Galileo Museum to the climb up Giotto’s tower for an amazing view of Florence. Lots of maths, science, architecture and engineering in action!

School Production ‘9 to 5’

Well done to all the staff and students involved in the school production ‘9 to 5’.  Everybody has worked so hard especially over the last few weeks to make the show a spectacular success.  The depth of talent on display was clear for everyone in the sold-out audiences to see. Creativity will always remain one of our core values and we are incredibly proud of our Arts faculty for producing such a brilliant show.  All the students involved in the show’s success should be very proud.  Special mention also to Mr Reed for steering the ship so well.

We can’t wait for next year’s performance.
