We’re excited to unveil our newly refurbished sports court — a vibrant space designed to inspire and support every pupil. With an improved surface and a fresh new look, the court encourages teamwork, confidence, and physical development.
It’s more than just a place to play — it’s a space where pupils can grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Year 8 have been busy learning all about the weather — from pressure systems and cloud formations to how forecasts are made. To put their knowledge into practice, pupils created their very own weather reports, complete with maps, symbols, and plenty of confidence in front of the class. The Met Office had better watch out — we may have some future forecasters in our midst!

During Wednesday`s lunch break, pupils took time out to join in a variety of Wellbeing Wednesday activities. These sessions give everyone a chance to pause, relax and recharge, while enjoying fun, creative tasks with friends.

It’s a lovely midweek opportunity for pupils to focus on their mental health and wellbeing, and to develop healthy habits that support a positive school environment.

Year 7 have been busy in the science lab this week investigating neutralisation reactions of common laboratory acids and alkalis. Working carefully and safely, they experimented with a range of solutions to create their very own pH scale.

The practical session helped pupils to see first-hand how acids and alkalis react, and to understand how these reactions can be used to produce neutral solutions. A fantastic hands-on way to bring chemistry to life!

Year 1 have been busy exploring teen numbers and building their understanding of place value in fun, practical ways. Using towers of ten, the children investigated how numbers are made. Teddy impressed everyone by making 20 with two towers of ten, then wondering aloud, “What would three towers make? Would it be 30?” — what brilliant mathematical thinking!

The class also used a 20 mat to practise counting on and recognising the order of numbers to 20. They were challenged to work out one more and two more than a given number and even had a go at counting backwards from 20 to 1—a tricky skill they tackled with enthusiasm.

It’s wonderful to see such curious minds and confident mathematicians developing in Year 1!

In Year 8 ICT, pupils have been diving into the world of vector graphics, learning how digital images can be created and edited with precision.

Using the app Freeform, they have explored how to design and modify a range of shapes—experimenting with rotation, colour, and size. They have also mastered how to use the z-order to move shapes forwards and backwards, adding depth and creativity to their artwork.

This hands-on project has given students the chance to develop both their technical skills and their creative flair, producing striking digital art pieces and gaining a deeper understanding of how professional designers work with vector images.

It’s been a busy and creative week across the Juniors!

In Digital Literacy, Year 1 and 2 have been sharpening their typing skills and learning how to change text features using both Apple Pages and Keynote. They produced some beautifully presented work, each piece showing their own personal flair and creativity.

During Thursday’s Prep Assembly, Year 5 and 6 proudly shared their writing inspired by Monday’s Battle of Bosworth trip. Their recounts brought the day’s learning to life, showing how much they enjoyed exploring this key moment in history.

Meanwhile, the Lower Juniors have been working hard on their non-chronological reports, mastering important text features such as subheadings, bullet points and paragraphing. The wonderful pieces of independent and guided writing from Shambhavi, Arla and Aryan are a true credit to their focus and developing skills.

Well done to all our young writers and digital creators for a week of impressive achievements!
