It’s been a busy first half-term in PE, with students trying new activities, working towards sport qualifications and making the most of external facilities. A particular highlight has been the launch of our first school football team, which recently competed in its very first tournament!
It has been a productive term in the English Department this term.
This term, our Creative Digital Media students have been combining technical skill with creativity, with both Level 2 and Level 3 groups making strong progress in their work.
This term, our Duke of Edinburgh students have been developing one of the most important skills for any expedition: map reading. Confident navigation is at the heart of the DofE programme, and it is a skill that will serve students well on future expeditions and far beyond.
KS3 students have been bringing science to life through some exciting practical activities.
Since 1 September, our Post-16 students have been settling into their new home in No. 5 Building. The move gives older students a space of their own, designed to support their studies, creativity and growing independence.
We were delighted to host our first SENCO Coffee Morning of the year, and what a wonderful turnout it was. It was lovely to see so many parents and carers coming together, some familiar faces and some new ones too, all keen to connect and share experiences.
In Cookery we have had a great start to the term, with students showing off some great culinary talents.
The PE Department has been extremely busy in our final term of school.
On the 9 July in the afternoon, we held the Creative Arts Evening and Year 11 Leavers celebration in Blackheath.
This year we have been really pleased to be able to celebrate the success of our students on several occasions.
Our Post-16 provision has grown so much over the last year that we're really excited to be expanding into our new building from September, which will affectionately be known as ‘No. 5”.
