    Fifty of our Year 9 students returned this week from an unforgettable trip to Ypres, where they toured the historic battlefields of Belgium and France. This experience provided profound insights into life in the trenches and the harrowing experiences of soldiers during the Great War. Beyond the battlefields, students visited significant historical memorials, including Tyne Cot Cemetery and Thiepval Memorial. These visits offered invaluable hands-on education, allowing them to connect deeply with history and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who served. We're proud of our students for engaging so thoughtfully with history.

    As part of Year 1's science learning and Term 6's theme, 'Animal Kingdom', our Year 1 students have been diving into the fascinating world of animals. To make this experience even more special, they visited Hamerton Zoo last Thursday! The students had an amazing time observing and learning about the diverse animals at the zoo. We are incredibly proud of our Year 1 students for their exemplary behaviour throughout the trip. They showed great curiosity and enquiring skills! Well done, Year 1!

    Last week, the Performing Arts Department took over 50 prospective GCSE Drama, Music, and Dance students to London to see the award-winning 'Back To The Future: The Musical' at The Adelphi Theatre. We all enjoyed the hugely impressive spectacle of the flying car and the exuberant energy of the cast! A fantastic experience for the students. #PerformingArts #BackToTheFuture #TheatreTrip
