    Another fantastic year of celebrating Children's Mental Health Week! Throughout the week, and as part of Wellbeing Wednesday, our students took part in a range of meaningful activities designed to support their mental wellbeing. From board games and nature walks to creating family activity envelopes and discussing worries and emotions, each year group engaged in experiences that encouraged self-awareness and resilience. Our Year 9, 10, and 12 students attended a special assembly led by the Northamptonshire Mental Health Support Team (MHST), focusing on managing exam stress and exploring what that might look like. Meanwhile, our Secondary and Sixth Form students engaged in insightful discussions throughout form time and lessons. Children's Mental Health Week is a powerful reminder of the importance of looking after our wellbeing. Let's continue the conversation and support one another! #childrensmentalhealthweek

    Year 2 Set Sail with Creative Boat Designs! Last week, as part of our "Land Ahoy!" theme in DT, our Year 2 children showcased their creativity by designing and making boats using recycled materials. First, they thought about the type of boat they wanted to build, and the students worked together in groups to bring their ideas to life. As part of our learning in science, we put their creations to the test by observing whether they floated on water. The children then reflected on their designs, thinking about what improvements they could make if they built their boats again. A huge well done Year 2!
