Remembrance Service Like so many schools across the country we commemorated the brave sacrifices of our armed forces over the years through assemblies and at the Remembrance Service in Runcorn on Remembrance Sunday. Poppies had also been on sale and as usual, our student, staff and many visitors contributed to the appeal by donating a sum in exchange for a poppy.
Head Boy, Tony Alford and Head Girl Georgia Worswick accompanied by Mr Downey, Mrs Rutter and Mrs Hall laid the poppy wreath at the cenotaph along with other schools and organisations from Runcorn.

times
for
the
GCSE
Astronomy
group!
On the 4th October, the group visited Jodrell Bank to see the world famous Lovell telescope at close quarters. The day was very much hands on, with the students completing a workshop on the electromagnetic spectrum and attending a presentation inside the inflatable planetarium. Top fact: The 4th Doctor Who (Tom Baker) died after falling off the Lovell telescope! Eight of our astronomy students also acted as guides at the North West Astronomy Festival. Aside from their duties, this gave them opportunity to attend lectures by eminent astronomers on the more unusual features of the Solar System’s moons and the size and scale of the known universe. They also got to handle meteorites from the distant regions of space and sample astronaut food.
