Celebrating Our Year 13 Prom

Our Year 13 students marked the end of their Sixth Form journey in style at this year's Prom which was a wonderful evening of celebration and reflection as they came together for one last time before embarking on their next adventures.

Career in Psychology

Our year 12 Psychology students recently welcomed Claire Marshall who is a High Intensity CBT Therapist  for the NHS.  Claire provided a really engaging insight into careers within psychology where she talked aout her journey through her career. Students learned about the type of qualifications, training and experience required to become a CBT therapist, as well as the rewarding opportunities to support individuals with a range of mental health difficulties. The session also went over the principles of CBT an area which students have recently covered in their Clinical Psychology and Mental Health A level topic. Claire spent time exploring the Five Areas Formulation and demostrated how thoughts, emotions, behaviours and life situations are all interconnected. Overall it was a fantastic opportunity for our students to see how psychological theory is applied in real-world clinical practice and to explore an exciting career pathway  for their futures. Finally there was time for Q and A at the end and students asked some really thoughtfull questions.

Year 12 Step Back in Time

On Friday 19th June the Year 12 English Literature group visited Packwood House to see a very special performance of 'Othello’ in preparation for their study of the text next year.  This play was performed by ‘The Lord Chamberlain’s Men’, a group of players with royal assent to use the original name of Shakespeare’s players and who perform using only traditional methods – no special effects – no microphones – no female players.  Yes, that’s right, the full cast was played by male actors.  To add to the authenticity of the performance the play was performed in the open air within the beautiful grounds of Packwood House. 

The performance was fantastic – bringing to life the themes of jealousy, deception and discrimination.  The shocking culmination of the performance leaving the stage scattered with dead bodies felt almost real.   

The weather was perfect with rain holding off and the sound of sheep bleating in the next field and birds singing in the trees around us all contributed to a very special performance.   

The group are now looking forward to a potential future visit to see the same play performed in a more modern theatre so they can explore the comparison between traditional directorial and performance choices with those used in a modern theatre. 

They also hope to see ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ which is their second drama text being studied as part of their course.

Year 13 Leavers Assembly

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!

Cinnamon Rolls in Enrichment - Cooking Activity

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!
