Read MoreFairtrade Fortnight
Published 11/03/20We had a busy fortnight learning about Fairtrade earlier this month. Students took part in lots of activities where they worked with Fairtrade products/produce. The topic was covered in assemblies and coaching for all years groups.
Students ran a Fairtrade chocolate stall during their break time. Students could buy Fairtrade chocolate products and also do some chocolate tasting! The stall raised just over £60 in just 25 minutes! The money is all going back to Fairtrade.org

Read MoreJamie’s Farm
Published 04/02/20Our students had a fantastic stay at Jamie’s Farm! They spent 5 nights in Monmouth, Wales, living and working on a farm.
They started every morning feeding the farmyard animals and caring for the chickens, cows, sheep, pigs and horses. While some students were feeding, others were back at the farmhouse preparing a two course breakfast to fuel them for the day!

Afternoons were spent maintaining the farm, repairing fences, building log stores, grooming the horses and even sheep herding! Every evening they had a night walk that required resilience, teamwork and grit.
The experience certainly put everyone through their paces!
Read MorePartnership Group
Published 05/07/19Our year 10 Partnership Group have been working on creating short pieces of narrative writing using a common setting as a stimulus. The Partnership group really embraced this topic and threw everything at at it! They tried to engage their audience with a variety of language techniques such as similes, metaphors, pathetic fallacy and personification.
“I was so proud of their efforts!” – Mrs Fahy
The students were given the below picture of a bridge in a woodland setting. They took this as inspiration to write a short piece of creative writing which was later compiled into an anthology. Please click the link to view the fantastic work which was produced.
