Health and Social Care

February 14, 2025/0 Comments/in General News, Uncategorized/by David Pearce

Health and Social Care

In Health and Social Care, our Year 11 students have been learning about the importance of supporting the social and emotional needs of young children. Alongside completing their very own BTEC activities, the class have been working hard to produce a range of Worry Monster Boxes which have been delivered to some of our Year 7 and 8 classes this week.

The Year 11 students explained that when the younger students are feeling worried or concerned, they can write down or draw their worries on a piece of paper and then feed it to the monster.  Later, they can sit down with their teachers and talk about this worry and see how their feelings have changed. All the students and staff were so impressed with the quality of the designs and these little worry eating monsters look fabulous in their new homes!

Year 10 & 11 Art Trip

February 14, 2025/0 Comments/in General News, Uncategorized/by David Pearce

Year 10 & 11 Art Trip

Miss Flynn and Mrs Pearce took the Year 10 and Year 11 BTEC Art students to London on Wednesday 12th February to visit the Tate Modern gallery on the train. The students spent time visiting the exhibitions, taking photos, sketching and observing the collection of art works on show. The students had a great time visiting the gallery and behaved impeccably throughout the trip.  Well done Year 10 and 11 students.

A visit from the Fire Service

A visit from the Fire Service

Maroon and Peach class had a visit from the Fire Service.  The crew from Stevenage Fire Station, talked to students about the different parts of a fire engine and showed them a set of breathing apparatus. Students were able to try on a helmet, look inside the fire engine and hold the big pincers. The visited ended with students (and staff) being driven around the lower carpark complete with flashing lights.

NSPCC Number Day

February 14, 2025/0 Comments/in General News, Uncategorized/by David Pearce

NSPCC Number Day

On Friday 7th February we joined schools across the UK by taking part in Number Day, to raise awareness of the NSPCC by having fun with numbers and celebrating all things maths! It was great to see so many students, and staff, getting involved by ‘dressing up for digits’. We also took part in the NSPCC Rocks competition, with students in all years contributing points by answering questions on their Times Tables Rockstars accounts. Over 3500 schools took part and we were up against tough competition! So while we didn’t win, we finished with an impressive average score of 215 points per student, and a whopping total score of 19,643! Well done to everyone who took part in all of the fantastic maths fun throughout the day.
