Last week, 47 students enjoyed an unforgettable residential trip to Germany's Black Forest. Despite the heatwave, they embraced every opportunity, from tobogganing and Europa-Park to Freiburg. Their resilience, teamwork and appreciation of nature were inspiring.

This week, the Year 9 WildEd group began work on the Community Garden, planting herbs and preparing space for a container pond. We also decorated bird boxes and bug hotels to hang next week. A very successful morning!

Year 8 students have made a strong start on their bug sculptures. After weeks of observational drawings, studying Christopher Marley, and designing hybrid species, they’re now using recycled cardboard to build their creations, ready to add colour with paint next.

As part of #FishHeroes, we were excited to be selected by Alaska Seafood UK to receive canned pink salmon. We created new dishes, learned about fish’s health benefits, and made Buddy’s fishcakes — a big success! Thanks to all involved.

This week, the year 12 art students have been working on a printmaking technique where designs are carved into lino sheets using gouges. They applied ink with a roller to the raised surface, then pressed it onto paper to create these lovely prints!
