Year 10

Year 10 soon settled into their new form groups thanks to a visit from the One Day Film School. Students were asked to act in, film, produce and edit a ten scene movie by the end of the school day. The afternoon was complete with their very own “Oscars” ceremony! The year group put these newly acquired skills to the test in December when faced with the monumental task of the Christmas Post, a staple of the Bolton School experience. For the very first time, students were asked to produce their play as a film rather than deliver it live. Year 10 swung into action, and navigated the guidelines on social distancing to produce six excellent performances. Only the Christmas Post experience can bring you The Kardashians, Timothée Chalamet, The Grinch, and Frozen’s very own Olaf, all in under an hour. Who knows, maybe this year group have trailblazed a new Bolton School tradition? Amongst all the fun, Year 10 managed to raise a staggering £1,862.87 for Period Poverty UK. This is equivalent to over 20,000 sanitary pads for those most in need. In the summer term, the year group were visited by the Ministry of Science. The pupils were treated to an interactive lecture on atomic structure and new subatomic particles have deepened our understanding of the atom. Some might want to visit the Large Hadron Collider at CERN one day! Many Year 10 students have been working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award after completing the Bronze Award. At the time of writing, all groups are preparing for their qualifying expedition. Good luck Year 10!
