To mark the end of our Non-Fiction Writing topic, the English department hosted a relaxed newspaper reading session - the perfect blend of learning and leisure.
Our English teachers kindly ask for parents’ support in encouraging students to read real news - local, national, and international - as preparation for their Non-Fiction English GCSE exam.
Dorset Walk Update: Today we successfully conquered Day 2! Students (and staff!) have been amazing and shown real strength. Day two is always a difficult one even before we factor in the sun!
The sea breeze has been very welcome today on the coastal paths.
Onwards to Day Three!

Residential Update
After another fun-packed day, we were all exhausted by the end - well, the adults were! The students, full of energy and excitement, kept going until late into the evening. It’s been a day full of laughter, learning, and unforgettable moments.
New friendships have been formed, old ones strengthened, and the teamwork on display has been nothing short of amazing.
Today, we’re kicking off with bushcraft and climbing before enjoying some lunch and heading home. We’ll share an estimated time of arrival (ETA) once we’re on the road later.
One thing is certain—there will be some very tired (but happy!) travellers tonight. Especially the adults!
Memories made. Bonds built. A truly special experience for all.
The coaches have left, the bbq is lit, there's rock music coming from the IT rooms… Activity Day 2025 is underway!
Follow our social media channels for updates throughout the day!
On Tuesday evening, the KSA Art Department had the pleasure of showcasing the examination artworks from our Year 11, Year 12, and Year 13 students.
It was lovely to see so many students, families, friends, and staff who came along to support our artists and celebrate their hard work and achievements. We are incredibly proud of them all!

At a recent City Schools Athletics event, our Year 9 students marked the school’s return to the competition after around six years away. For every student involved, it was their first time competing at a professional athletics facility, and they rose to the occasion with determination and enthusiasm.
Performance highlights include:
A huge well done to all involved!
