March 7, 2025/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Easter revision sessions for Year 11 & 13

We are pleased to be offering revision sessions during the Easter holidays for students in Year 11 and 13. Sessions will be led by our teaching staff and will be delivered over a period of six days: Wednesday 9th April till Wednesday 26th April (inclusive). Please find attached an overview of the sessions being offered. Parent/carers or students will need to sign up for each session via Clubs & Interventions on Edulink by Friday 14th March.

Please note the following:

·         Morning sessions are 9:30am–12pm.

·         Afternoon sessions are 12:30pm-3pm.

·         Students may only enter the school via the Sixth Form entrance.

·         A list of all sessions and their rooms will be displayed in the Sixth Form entrance.

·         All sessions are taking place in either the Sixth Form block, Languages or Drama rooms.

·         Students going to some sessions, such as Art or Science, will be met by their teacher in the Sixth Form and accompanied to their classroom, as the school has other users on site.

·         In the lunch break (12pm-12:30pm), students may go off site or are invited to use the Sixth Form Hub (with microwave, kettle, etc).

·         Students are advised to bring water with them, and lunch if they are staying for the full day.

Sessions were well received by students last year and we look forward to supporting Year 11 and 13 further in their preparation for this summer’s exams.

British Science Week Competition

March 7, 2025/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

We are excited to announce an engaging opportunity for our students to participate in this year’s British Science Week Poster Competition!

This competition encourages students to explore the theme of air quality by designing innovative solutions to improve the air we breathe in indoor public spaces.

About the competition

Students are invited to select an indoor public space they frequent, such as a classroom, library, café, or cinema, and consider whether the air in that space is healthy and clean. They will then develop an idea or invention to enhance air quality in their chosen space. This could be a completely new concept or a creative re-imagining of existing solutions, such as ventilation systems, air filters, or other technologies.

Participants should:

  • Conduct research using trustworthy sources.
  • Apply scientific understanding from their lessons (e.g., states of matter, virus behaviour).
  • Present their ideas clearly and creatively through diagrams, instructions, or posters.
  • Submission Guidelines
  • Posters must be A4 or A3 in size.
  • Entries should include photos, graphs, or visuals to effectively communicate ideas.
  • Once completed, entries will be photographed and submitted online for judging.
  • Each school may submit the top five entries.

The deadline for submissions is Friday 28th March, so please encourage your child to start brainstorming and designing soon! For more details and competition rules, visit the British Science Week website.

This is a wonderful chance for our students to showcase their creativity and scientific thinking while addressing an important global issue. We look forward to seeing their innovative ideas!

Best regards,

Mr Zafar
Science Teacher
