Our pupils enjoyed carrying out a fermentation experiment, observing how yeast breaks down sugar to produce carbon dioxide.
The practical helped students link scientific theory to real-life processes such as bread making, while developing their observation and investigative skills. A fantastic hands-on learning experience! 🧪✨
We were delighted to host a Coffee Morning with our parents, providing a warm and welcoming space to connect and engage.
It was a wonderful opportunity to share updates, discuss students’ progress, and strengthen the partnership between home and school. Thank you to all the parents who attended and contributed to such a positive and supportive atmosphere ☕✨

A big thank you to the NHS team for their time and for inspiring the next generation!
🧪 Practical Science in Action
Our students took part in an exciting practical lesson where they successfully prepared copper sulphate crystals.
Through this experiment, students explored key scientific techniques such as heating, dissolving, filtering, and crystallisation—bringing their learning to life in a hands-on way.
It’s always great to see science in action! 🔬

🌿 Fieldwork in Action – Geography Lesson
Our students stepped outside the classroom and into the field for a hands-on Geography lesson, where they carried out a quadrat sampling experiment to investigate the abundance of grass species in the area.
This practical activity allowed students to apply their knowledge in a real-world context, developing their data collection and observational skills while exploring the natural environment.
Learning beyond the classroom makes Geography come alive! 🌍
Supporting Student Wellbeing
Our Year 10 students recently took part in a Mental Health Service session during their PSHCE lessons, delivered by Heather Hook from Hook Platform.
As part of the NHS-supported initiative, students learned about the importance of mental health and the support available to them. Hook Platform offers a free online counselling service, providing students with one hour per week of support at no cost.
👏 A special well done to Maryam Yasar and Faeezah Patel, who received small rewards for their excellent participation and thoughtful answers during the session.
We are proud to continue promoting wellbeing and ensuring our students have access to valuable support services.

🚉 Inclusion Trip – Building Life Skills
As part of our inclusion programme, students recently took part in a trip designed to help them develop important everyday life skills.
Before the visit, students completed a life experiences survey where they shared areas they had not yet experienced, such as travelling by train, purchasing items independently, or visiting a post office.
During the trip, students travelled by bus to the train station and caught a train to Preston. They also had the opportunity to purchase food and other items independently, visit a post office to post letters, and explore a charity shop where they compared prices.
The trip provided a valuable opportunity for students to build confidence, independence, and gain real-world experience beyond the classroom. 🌟
