Bookopoly Success

July 23, 2025/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

This year we have seen lots of reading successes from our Year 7s and 8s.  Many of these students have taken up and participated in our Bookoploly reading challenge.

We have been very impressed with their efforts and how much they have achieved.

A handful of students have worked especially hard to read around the board with Oreoluwa F completing Bookopoly, having read all of the 40 books set out,  Henry R and George S finishing on 19 books, and Xavion C made it all the way to 18.  Not only have they all earned themselves lots of achievement points along the way, but they also all received a certificate of merit and a token for our book vending machine, as part of our end of year celebration assemblies.

Huge congratulations to them all!

Mrs M Gregory
Discovery Centre Manager

Year 7 Bastille Day poster Competition winners

July 11, 2025/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

We recently ran a poster competition for all students in Year 7 in celebration of Bastille Day (called the Fête nationale in France) which takes place every year on 14th July and is France’s national day.

On this day, French people mark the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789, the end of the French monarchy and the establishment of the French republic. It is a national holiday in France and is celebrated with a military parade, firework displays and parties. Students had to represent the meaning of the day in their posters and of course include some French!

Congratulations to our worthy winners!

End of Year Celebration Assemblies- Save the Date

July 11, 2025/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

As we approach the end of the academic year, we are excited to celebrate the hard work, progress and achievements of our students in our End of Year Celebration Assemblies.

These special events will take place in school at 2:00pm on the following dates:

  • Year 7 – Monday 14th July

  • Year 8 – Tuesday 15th July

  • Year 9 – Wednesday 16th July

  • Year 10 – Thursday 17th July

  • Year 12 – Monday 21st July

Each assembly will be a chance to recognise effort, attainment, progress, and contributions to school life across the year.

This year, all parents and carers will receive an email invitation to their child’s assembly. The email will let you know whether or not your child is receiving an award. However, we warmly welcome all parents and carers to attend, regardless of whether their child is being formally recognised. These assemblies are a celebration of the year as a whole, and every student has played a part in making it a success.

We hope you can join us as we come together to celebrate the dedication and accomplishments of our young people.

 

Mr M Armitage
Assistant Headteacher
