The sessions covered key topics including the current job market, career advice, applying for jobs, and navigating the interview process. The information shared was incredibly valuable for our students as they prepare to take their next steps.

Experiences like this bring books to life; they help students see that stories are not just words on a page, but reflections of society. Meeting Tia today demonstrated that literature is a space where young people’s voices are recognised and given a meaningful platform!

If you haven’t yet read Crossing the Line, we highly recommend it!

It was amazing to see our students progress so quickly, growing in confidence each day while having so much fun. We were especially proud of the effort they showed and the way they worked together, encouraging and supporting one another throughout. You were a credit to us all! 👏

❄️ Ski Trip Success! ❄️
What an incredible half-term adventure! Our ski trip was a huge success from start to finish. Although it was a long coach journey, it was absolutely worth it once we arrived at the slopes!

A fantastic start to the District League campaign for our Year 7/8 girls’ ⚽️👏 A 4–2 win vs a tough Houstone side, with Ava in sensational form scoring all FOUR goals. Real teamwork and determination shown by every player — even in damp, muddy conditions! — Miss Saunders
