Mind of the Student
On May 16th we had guest speakers from Mind of the Student complete workshops for years 7, 8, 9 and 10. They touched on many key subjects such as anxiety and depression, the causes and ways to help. Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed all the activities and gained some helpful knowledge along the way. A massive thank you to the Mind of the Student team.
High School Musical Jr.
After practising for many hard weeks, our pupils took to the stage to perform our very own production of High School Musical from April 17th - April 19th. They began with their primary school show matinee performance and then went onto their evening performances. The shows were a big success, and we want to say well done to all pupils and staff involved for their hard work.
WW1 Speaker from Khaki on Campaign

Year 11 Ice Skating Trip
On Tuesday 12th of December, our year 11s went ice skating!

Procter and Gamble Anti-Bullying Trip
On the 14th October 2023, a group of Year 8-10 anti-bullying ambassador pupils visited the head offices of Procter and Gamble in Surrey.
The trip was to record a promotional video in association with The Diana Award and Head and Shoulder #FREETHESHOULDERS campaign to provide resources to educate young people about appearance-based bullying.
The pupils joined in on multiple anti-bullying based activities such as making posters about their own appearance, naming the effects of bullying and interviews for the camera.
