🌟 Our Year 12 students recently attended a Careers and Apprenticeship Fair, gaining valuable insight into the wide range of pathways available after sixth form. Students had the opportunity to speak directly with employers, training providers, and universities, exploring careers across a variety of industries. The event encouraged them to consider their future aspirations, discover new opportunities, and gain a better understanding of the skills and qualifications needed to achieve their goals. A fantastic experience that has helped inspire and inform the next steps in their career journeys. Well done to all students for their positive engagement throughout the visit!

🌟 Our EAL students had a truly enriching and enjoyable visit to London! They were inspired by the grandeur of the city’s iconic landmarks and loved seeing first-hand many of the places they have been learning about in their lessons. The experience brought their studies to life, deepening their cultural understanding and helping them make meaningful connections between the classroom and the wider world. The day also included a picnic in the park, opportunities to socialise, meeting students from other schools, and travelling by train. It was a memorable trip that combined learning, exploration, and fun in equal measure. 🇬🇧🚆🌳

🎨 Black History Month Art Workshop 🎨 As part of Black History Month, a group of Year 8 and Year 10 students had the fantastic opportunity to take part in an inspiring art workshop led by local portrait artist Jacqui Cooke. Students were fully engaged by Jacqui’s presentation, learning about her journey as an artist and exploring the power of portraiture in telling stories and celebrating identity. They then put their own artistic skills into practice by creating portraits of someone who inspires them. It was wonderful to see such creativity, thoughtfulness and enthusiasm on display, with students producing some truly impressive pieces of work. A huge thank you to Jacqui for sharing her expertise and inspiring our young artists!

🥋 On Friday, the children from The Maple had their very first judo session, and what a fantastic experience it was! Everyone had a great time learning new skills, building confidence, and enjoying the challenge on the mats. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm and positive attitude. They are already looking forward to getting back on the mats next week! 🌟

Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.

Year 13 Students Impress at Turner & Townsend Degree Apprenticeship Workshop 🌟 Sixteen of our Year 13 students recently visited the London headquarters of Turner & Townsend for an inspiring insight workshop focused on the company’s highly regarded degree apprenticeship programme. 🏙️ Based in the heart of the City of London, with stunning views overlooking St Paul’s Cathedral, students gained valuable insight into career pathways within project management, construction, infrastructure and consultancy. 👥 As part of the workshop, students completed a challenging task modelled on activities applicants may encounter during the apprenticeship interview and assessment process. Working in teams, they researched major Turner & Townsend projects, including the Silvertown Tunnel, London Olympic Stadium, Battersea Power Station and Crossrail. 💡 Students explored the impact of these projects on different stakeholders, identified potential concerns and considered how project teams could effectively engage with and respond to stakeholder needs. They then presented their findings to Turner & Townsend staff, showcasing excellent teamwork, research, communication and critical thinking skills. 👏 The quality of the presentations made a lasting impression, with one member of the Turner & Townsend team commenting: “They need to apply now.” 🎓 Throughout the visit, students also heard from current apprentices and graduates, learned more about the recruitment process and discovered the benefits of combining university study with paid professional employment through a degree apprenticeship. ⭐ Our students were outstanding ambassadors for the school, engaging confidently with industry professionals, asking insightful questions and demonstrating the professionalism expected in the workplace. 🤝 A huge thank you to Turner & Townsend for hosting such a memorable and informative event. We look forward to developing this valuable partnership in the future.
