Year 6 Science & Health Days

Once again, we were delighted to welcome over 265 Year 6 pupils from some of our local primary schools to our Science & Health Day, a day packed full of scientific discovery and enquiry run by the Science Faculty, together with various physical activities run by our Sports Leaders and the PE Faculty. The pupils had an opportunity to attend a Chemistry Tricks show, investigate the properties of fizzy drinks and construct a number of everyday molecules (supervised by our Year 12 Chemists!)– a rich hands-on experience of the wonders of science, and a taste of what’s to come in secondary school.

Year 13 Celebration 2023 - At the Crazy Bear

We were delighted to host the Year 13 Leavers Ball on Thursday 27th April at the Crazy Bear Hotel in Stadhampton. This stunning venue was the perfect backdrop for students to enjoy delicious food and dance the night away as they celebrated their time in the Sixth Form. We have missed their friendly faces around the school site and are very much looking forward to seeing them again on A Level Results Day on Thursday 17th August.
