On Monday 22nd June, our Post-16 students took part in an informative session about staying safe when holidaying abroad. Students explored how to prepare for travelling, keep themselves and their belongings safe, and make responsible decisions while away from home.

The session covered important topics such as travel documents, emergency contacts, local laws and looking after personal wellbeing. It was a great opportunity for students to develop their confidence and understanding of how to enjoy holidays abroad safely.

Our Year 13 Leavers’ Assembly was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the journey, achievements, and memories of our students as they prepare for their next chapter.

A special highlight of the event was the collection of childhood photographs kindly sent in by parents and carers, giving everyone the chance to look back at how far our students have come from their early years to the young adults they are today.

It was a heartfelt celebration filled with laughter, reflection, and pride, and a fitting send-off for a fantastic year group. We wish all of our Year 13 leavers every success for the future!

This week, students made homemade cinnamon rolls as part of our Cooking on a Budget enrichment. Using simple, low-cost ingredients, they learned how to create a delicious treat while developing important independent living skills.

From measuring and mixing to working as a team, students built confidence in the kitchen and saw how affordable cooking can be both practical and enjoyable. Best of all, they got to enjoy the results and they were delicious!

A huge congratulations to Nadim, who has been voted the Reading List Foundation Scholarship winner. As part of this achievement, Nadim will receive a £275 voucher to help purchase his university books and support him throughout his studies.

We’re delighted to celebrate Nadim’s success and hope this contribution helps him access the essential resources he needs as he continues his academic journey.

Well done, Nadim, a fantastic achievement and very well deserved!

Year 12 students attended a trip to De Montfort University on Monday where they explored the campus through a guided tour, gained insight into university facilities, student life and learning environments. During the visit, students looked at the different university courses available helping them to consider future study options and careers aspirations. They also received information about student finance, tuition fees, loans and financial support available to them. To support their understanding, students completed a budgeting activity focused on managing finances and planning living costs whilst at university.

Huge congratulations to all our Year 12 and 13 progress praise students. Staff nominated for students across their subjects who had made the most progress and had the highest attainment. Off the back all the nominations we had 8 lucky students  who won out of the draw! Prizes included Amazon vouchers and Echo Dots - keep up the great work sixth formers!
