Once again our presentation afternoon at Glanford Park was a huge success this year.

Our learners should be so proud of themselves as we recognised and celebrated their achievements.

It was great to see so many families celebrating with us and enjoying the occasion.

We always look forward to this annual event as it allows us to acknowledge the hard work of our learners and reflect on how much progress they have made.

To be part of their journey is such a privilege and we wish all of our learners the best for their next chapter.

This half term has seen KS3 complete a micro study of the creatures of Greek Mythology. They have explored the idea of the Gods and Goddesses and applied their stories and ideologies to modern day literature including Philip Pullmans Northern Lights. KS3 showed a great interest in mythological creatures and each learner chose an area to explore. 

In Maths, we use Mathsframe to boost engagement in maths lessons through online games. Mathsframe's interactive games align with the National Curriculum, making learning enjoyable and capturing students' interest. The platform supports differentiated instruction, allowing teachers to match games to each student's level, promoting confidence and success. Instant feedback helps students quickly correct mistakes, reinforcing key concepts. This approach has significantly increased enthusiasm and improved performance in our maths classes.

On Thursday 13^th June, our Coritani junior tribe set off on their chariot to visit the New Theatre Royal Lincoln to watch their production of 'Zog and the Flying Doctors'. All of the learners travelled to the theatre safely, showed respect to others and were ready to have a fabulous time, making the staff feel proud and privileged to have shared the experience with them. Seated in the Royal Circle, our learners were taken on an adventure to cure a unicorn with two horns, a mermaid with sensitive skin and a lion who could not roar. They argued with an opinionated monarch, danced to a singing dragon and laughed until the smiles were stuck to their faces. All in attendance had a blast but the true stars of the show were our learners. Well done Coritani juniors a big round of applause for you.

We have just had a visit from the Prison Me? No Way! Team.  The team brought a group of Category D prisoners who are determined that others do not make the poor choices they made.  The focus of the day was gangs and County Lines.  The story of the young reformed prisoners explained how the people who recruited them for gangs were very friendly until they tried to refuse to leave the gang.  There were some interesting and thoughtful questions from the learners so that they are able to face the world and be able to negotiate difficult relationships.

Our Coritani leaders visited the Explorer Dome to delve into the curious world of light. We split white light into the rainbow spectrum of colours and experimented with light refracting glasses. The learners played with shadows and created creatures with their hands. Our illuminating experts explained how light reaches our planet from the sun and how eclipses work. The learners enjoyed this immersive experience and recalled facts from their science lessons to ask and answer questions.
