Lots of fun had by all at today's Christmas lunch! Everybody really getting into the festive spirit
Earlier this term we had a fantastic time hosting the Illuminate tour! Thank you to Saintz for the amazing music and inspiring message about self-esteem and bullying and for Kingsgate Church for bringing this event to our school.
We're taking part in Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 12th December 2024!
On Tuesday, 12th November, students in Post-16 experienced a university drop-in session with Jade, a representative from Anglia Ruskin University. During the session, students discussed their aspirations for the future, university life, and financing their studies, as well as receiving information for writing effective CVs and Personal Statements. After the group drop-in, Jade provided each student with one-to-one meetings on their requested topic, providing them with a fantastic opportunity to receive tailored advice, support with the application process, and to learn more about higher education.
Last week's Head Teacher's commendations was full of praise and positivity about our nominated students. From students completing additional work to supplement their studies, to a student who helped a fellow student after a fall we couldn't be prouder of them.
Well done to each and every one of you for your achievements and kindness!
On Wednesday 20th November, Year 13 Politics students were given the opportunity to put questions to two former members of the US Congress - Cheri Bustos and Bob Dold. The US Politicians were grilled on topics such as life as a US Congressman and their views of new President-Elect Donald Trump, with the candid responses providing a valuable insight for our students!
ClassCharts is currently experiencing a technical problem which is causing the site to be very slow/unavailable. We are aware that this has been affecting staff, students and parents/carers for most of the day and we are unsure at this time when it will be resolved. As soon as the company gives us an update we will let you know.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amir Walji.
A great servant to education and one of the most committed teachers you could ever meet, Amir was the epitome of integrity and was held in the highest respect.
We have lost a brilliant teacher, a great colleague and a good friend.
Please see our website for a letter from the Headteacher, Mr D Whales

It was an extra busy week last week so it was nice to take a moment during Thursday to celebrate Headteacher's Commendations with the weeks nominees. With hot chocolate, cookies and certificates, we heard about how these students have gone above and beyond both at school and in outside pursuits. Well done to all!
Thank you to everyone for your support with our Children in Need event on Friday - together we raised £1352!
