Warner Bros Harry Potter Studios
Year 10 enjoyed a magical day at Warner Bros Harry Potter Studios. Students had a brilliant time and were a pleasure to be with.
Regional Handball Finals
The students narrowly missed out on a place in the Regional Handball semi-finals following a 2-2 draw (v Walsall Academy), 4-3 loss (v Thomas Adams) and 4-1 win (v Haywood Academy).
It was great experience for the students, many of whom will use handball as one of their sports for GCSE PE.
Cup finals
We had mixed fortunes in the cup finals with year 9 losing 3-2 and year 10 winning 3-2. Both games were very evenly matched and on another day we could have come away with an extra trophy, but regardless the students achievements with their football this season have been outstanding.
The year 9’s showed great character having finished the first half 2-0 down. Unfortunately, a late penalty allowed President Kennedy to take the lead and we were unable to come back again.
The year 10’s twice took the lead in their game. With the game seemingly heading to penalties we scored a goal with two minutes left on the clock and secured a win that avenged last years defeat.
Pride karaoke
Year 10 students celebrated Pride month with a karaoke party today. Everyone enjoyed the sweet treats and a group rendition of Africa by Toto was a karaoke favourite. Thanks to students for representing the school ethos of compassion and partnership.

Year 10 book club students
Year 10 book club students met with author Sarah Crossan, to discuss her latest verse novel ‘Gone for Good’. Students asked Sarah a range of questions, gaining an insight into her writing process as well as how books are edited and published.
Maths Challenge success
We are delighted to share the success of two of our amazing mathematicians in Round 2 of the UK Maths Challenge, Harley in Year 9 and Riley in Year 10. Students have to be among the top scorers nationally to be invited to take part in the second round, and both excelled here, too: Riley achieving a Bronze Kangaroo certificate and Harley achieving a Silver Kangaroo certificate. Huge congratulations to them both, and thank you to the maths team for supporting them.
