We would also like to extend our thanks to ASHE and MACE who sponsored some of our trophies.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the occasion and we are looking forward to holding the next one in our new build.

Year 9 Arts Award

Over the last three weeks all of Year 9 have had the opportunity to visit Junction7 Creatives in Stevenage as part of their Arts Award Explore. They had fun looking at all the different styles of art and choosing their favourite and were given the opportunity to create a piece of art of their own.
Thank you to Junction7 for offering our students this opportunity.

Enterprise

The Year 10 Enterprise students are coming up with ideas for an assault course. Stanley, Sacha and Jayden began building theirs in the woods.

This work has inspired the rest of Year 10 to look at different assault course ideas. We are very excited to see what the end result will be!

Huge congratulations to Alfie, Ankit, Lou, Chloe, Gwen, Lucas, Maxine and Ollie.
