  • Performing Arts Challenge!

    Published 06/11/20

    Students were challenged in October by the Expressive and Performing Arts Faculty to complete 3 challenges linked to Drama, Music and Dance. Well done to all students who took part and we hope  more will participate in November!

    Owen Richardson (Y8) composed a spooky composition using Logic Pro and by recording his own samples using a mic at home. We think its terrifyingly good!

    Keiva Bhanabhai (Y8) not only completed the Drama story challenge but also wrote an eerie piece on the piano for the Music challenge – amazing effort Keiva!

    Macey Armitage (Y7) produced a superb piece of creating writing –

    we are really impressed and terrified all at the same time! More please Macey!

    Students are encouraged to take part in the November Performing Arts Challenge. Each activity for Drama, Dance and Music is related to events happening this month including remembrance and bonfire night. Students can join the classroom to find out more and to enter:   5gxymf4

  • Fairtrade Fortnight

    Published 11/03/20

    We had a busy fortnight learning about Fairtrade earlier this month. Students took part in lots of activities where they worked with Fairtrade products/produce. The topic was covered in assemblies and coaching for all years groups.

    Students ran a Fairtrade chocolate stall during their break time. Students could buy Fairtrade chocolate products and also do some chocolate tasting! The stall raised just over £60 in just 25 minutes! The money is all going back to Fairtrade.org

  • Jamie’s Farm

    Published 04/02/20

    Our students had a fantastic stay at Jamie’s Farm! They spent 5 nights in Monmouth, Wales, living and working on a farm.

    They started every morning feeding the farmyard animals and caring for the chickens, cows, sheep, pigs and horses. While some students were feeding, others were back at the farmhouse preparing a two course breakfast to fuel them for the day!

    Afternoons were spent maintaining the farm, repairing fences, building log stores, grooming the horses and even sheep herding! Every evening they had a night walk that required resilience, teamwork and grit.

    The experience certainly put everyone through their paces!

  • Partnership Group

    Published 05/07/19

    Our year 10 Partnership Group have been working on creating short pieces of narrative writing using a common setting as a stimulus. The Partnership group really embraced this topic and threw everything at at it! They tried to engage their audience with a variety of language techniques such as similes, metaphors, pathetic fallacy and personification.

    “I was so proud of their efforts!” – Mrs Fahy 

    The students were given the below picture of a bridge in a woodland setting.  They took this as inspiration to write a short piece of creative writing which was later compiled into an anthology. Please click the link to view the fantastic work which was produced.
