27th February 2025Web Blogger

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Friday 28th February 2025, E28 (Y10) will be taking part in fieldwork at the National Holocaust Museum. This fieldwork has been planned to support their learning as part of the ‘Nature Vs Nurture’ expedition where students will be answering the Guiding Question: ‘Are We Really Free To Choose?’.

We will depart school at 9.15am and our expected arrival time back at school is around 3.15pm. We will provide updates on our expected arrival time back at school via the school website as this can be impacted by events out of our control such as traffic.

Students will need a packed lunch for this fieldwork. If your child is in receipt of free school meals, a lunch will be provided.

In addition to a packed lunch, students will need the following equipment:
-Pen
-Water Bottle

If you have any questions about this fieldwork, please contact me [email protected], or get in touch with your child’s crew leader.

With thanks,

Sarah Hannam
XP Trust History Lead

What a fantastic half term in PE

17th February 2025Charlotte OGrady

We have a jam packed 6 weeks of sport in PE. After the break we come back and we will have a few changes to the extra curricular programme and a new block of sport for PE, so keep your eyes peeled.

This last week our Year 7 and 8 Netball teams played at home against Hungerhill. The girls played a fantastic game and we cannot wait to play our last remaining few games after half term.
