This Mother’s Day, we want to take a moment to recognise all the love, care and support that surrounds our children in so many different ways.

Today is a celebration of mums, step‑mums, grandmas, carers, aunties and all the special people who nurture, encourage and champion our children every day. We also hold space for those for whom today may feel difficult, including anyone missing a mum, those who wish to be mums, or families who mark today in their own quiet way.

To every family in our school community, thank you for the kindness, patience and love you give 🌷

Year 8 and 9 Enrichment Showcases

Year 8 and 9 students have been getting stuck into their enrichment activities during Wednesday Crew time. This week, they had the opportunity to share what they have been working on, with the Sports Hall buzzing with conversation, curiosity and plenty of praise as students visited each other’s displays 🌟

The range of activities on show was fantastic. From crochet club to French cuisine, including frogs’ legs for the brave, to debate club and many more, students spoke proudly about what they had learned and created.

Our Year 11 and Sixth Form historians recently enjoyed a visit to the Cold War exhibition at RAF Cosford.

During the visit, students explored a wide range of displays, examined key artefacts up close, and developed a deeper understanding of this fascinating period of history. A highlight for many was the opportunity to try on replica uniforms, which brought plenty of smiles and helped bring their learning to life ✈️

Twenty eight Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Silver students have recently completed the FFA Level 2 Award in Student First Aid.

The course was delivered by Chrissie Hinton and First 2 Act First Aid Ltd, giving students a nationally recognised qualification that will remain valid for the next three years. This is a fantastic addition to their CVs and excellent preparation for their upcoming expeditions.

Some students attended several after school sessions, while others gave up a Saturday to complete the training. To achieve the award, students successfully completed both a written exam and practical assessments, demonstrating strong knowledge, skill and commitment throughout.

Well done to everyone involved for their dedication and thank you to all those who supported the delivery of this valuable qualification 🚑

Students from our resource provision have been learning about Langar as part of their RE lessons.

After exploring the meaning and purpose of Langar, the students decided they wanted to create their own. They worked together to plan what food they would include, with staff supporting them to bring in the different items needed. Everyone helped to set everything up before sitting down to eat together and share the experience 🧡

This was a lovely example of learning brought to life, helping students develop understanding, teamwork and a sense of community.

Students showed real pride in their work and enthusiasm for the activities on offer, with creativity and commitment evident throughout the sessions.
