KS3 had a brilliant English lesson today. They used modelling clay as part of an autobiography unit. They created a visual of their 'likes' and personal spaces on the theme of 'Me, Myself and I.' It was brilliant to see such creativity from our students, well done! #thisisap

Students showed fantastic team work and cooperation today during PE. It is a brilliant way for students to build social skills and learn to win and lose in healthy competition #thisisap

Absolutely gorgeous 'dinosaur egg' created by M in Year 10. Her colour blending was inspired by Henri Rousseau and she used meta-thinking to apply painting skills to coloured pens! All on a goose egg. What a Monday #thisisAP

We used our understanding of tone to create beautiful, oil pastel ice bergs for #WorldBookDay through some cross curricular learning we also worked out what percentage of an iceberg sits below the waterline. Great work everyone! #readingisfun #readingforpleasure #artedu
