A quick visit for food at Kings Cross and an added bonus this year, a train that ran on time.

The students enjoyed the performance, especially the visual effects when the set tilted forward to show the breaking apart of a family! The performance was well received which will help learners to understand the intentions of Jack Priestley when he wrote the play in 1945. 

The Into Film Festival trip was a fantastic opportunity for our students to develop an appreciation for film and storytelling while also enjoying a fun day out. It was a wonderful chance to step outside the classroom and engage in a cultural experience that encouraged creativity, discussion, and imagination.

A huge thank you to the Into Film Festival for making this event possible, and to all the staff and students for making it such an enjoyable and successful trip!

It was a wonderful blend of intellectual stimulation and casual enjoyment, fostering a love for reading while encouraging meaningful connections among peers. The experience not only sparked a passion for reading but also created lasting memories proving that learning can be both fun and refreshing.

Boxing is a dynamic sport that requires students to apply strength, agility, speed and endurance. Effectively, students have the opportunity to take part in a physically demanding activity that will improve an individual’s cardiovascular health, muscular strength, general physical fitness as well as improving mental wellbeing.

Our week has shown that students are ready to apply themselves to the best of their ability. There were definitely a few stars in the making.

All the students were incredibly respectful to the coaches and facilities, allowing our trips to be safe. Well done everyone!!

This week was such a success that we already have plans to return in the near future and as an added bonus, some students have even joined Allegro Gymnastics on a weekend.

Students gained a greater understanding into the writers' intentions of their poems, which is invaluable for their understanding in Literature and the world of music, art and writing in addition to showing alternative career paths. 

The day was packed with hands-on maths activities, from calculating race distances to understanding jockey weights. The learners were highly engaged, with some even inspired to explore careers in racing!  

A huge thank you to Racing to School and Doncaster Racecourse for an exciting and educational experience.

Visiting the Railway Museum, Museum Gardens, The Shambles and The Minster gave students time to consider their ideas for Flora, Angles, Places and Spaces as well as look into the historical architecture that the city has to offer.

All students completed some good work towards their projects and gained some excellent understanding of their own work and the direction it should take, as well as taking the time to consider the projects that their classmates are undertaking.

From the very beginning, students dived straight in, by listening and trusting in their swimming teachers. By being RESPECTFUL, students were able to make massive strides in their swimming ability.

Swimming can have many benefits from leading a healthy and active lifestyle, as well as developing social skills. However, at the end of the day, being able to swim can save your life! This is why it is part of the National Curriculum. Now these students know how to stay SAFE near water.

The objective of these sessions is for the pupils to build on their existing swimming competences and further develop their social skills.  This was a great success in which students proved themselves to be safe and respectful during their visit.  Pupils put in maximum effort and enjoyed the lesson and experience, they are all looking forward to the next lesson.

Our Key Stage 2 pupils enjoyed a delightful screening of Garfield. This classic family comedy was a big hit, sparking lots of laughter and discussion. The children were an absolute credit to the school, showing impeccable behaviour throughout the visit. It was heart-warming to see their excitement and enthusiasm as they immersed themselves in the cinematic experience.  

As an extension of the festival, we treated our Key Stage 3 and 4 students to a spectacular viewing of Wicked. The Into Film Festival has once again provided an enriching cultural experience, sparking creativity, engagement, and new perspectives among our pupils. We are already looking forward to next year’s events!  

Thank you to all staff and pupils for making this year’s film festival participation such a success!

The most important part of the day was travelling to and from Hull.  In order make sure our learners are ready for the next stage in their lives we took them on the Fastcab 350 which has built on the work we have done on public transport over the past few weeks.  The journey wasn't easy as the bus filled up and the return journey was delayed.  All skills needed for later life.

The play we watched was A Comedy of Errors and set in the traditional mediaeval manner, learners were surprised that there was some interaction between the actors and the crowd.  A great day to inspire our learners both academically and in building skills for adult life.

Some learners decided they could be creative with a sharpy but others went for the traditional method with scoop and cutter.  They were excellent at sharing, respectful with each other, so each class was buzzing with activity.  All the learners left with a pumpkin to place in the window or on the door step.

Learners were able to select an area of research they were interested in, ask their questions to other learners and staff around school and use differing techniques to record their data. 

Furthermore, we used our statistics knowledge to investigate the different types of chocolates inside a box of chocolates and compare the amounts of each type!
