Our final day of term ended on a high note with a fantastic High Performance Learning (HPL) drop-down day! Primary and Key Stage 3 students teamed up to explore the concept of culture through thought-provoking discussions and creative activities. Together, they reflected on questions such as: What is culture? How do we express our culture? How does culture shape our identity, and can that identity change over time? Students chose up to 3 different cultures and collaborated to create PowerPoint presentations showcasing their reflections and ideas, sparking fantastic conversations and some truly beautiful designs. A wonderful way to finish the term!

Before the break, Term 2 wrapped up with an exciting Primary House reward trip to the Silverstone Museum! Students were nominated by their class teachers for demonstrating empathy and hard work throughout the term. During the trip, they explored the museum, experienced a guided tour of the circuit, walked along the iconic F1 track, strolled through the pit lane, and even had a celebratory moment on the podium! A fantastic experience for all!

Our A-Level Chemistry students have been busy conducting a required practical as part of their course, focusing on oxidising ethanol to ethanoic acid. Students heated the ethanol and oxidising agent under reflux to produce the acid and then used a variety of tests to confirm the identity. This hands-on experiment allowed students to refine their practical skills, deepen their understanding of organic reactions, and build confidence working with advanced laboratory techniques. #ALevelChemistry
