Each House performed a piece written and directed by Year 12 students and performed by Year 8 and Year 10 actors. Curnock were the winners, here’s what some of the winning team had to say…

“We found the experience of doing House Drama an incredibly fulfilling experience. Working with a talented cast of Year 10s (and Alfie, our only Year 8) we were able to create a winning piece which was funny, engaging and magical.
Year 9 Legoland Trip

Published 2 May 2024

On Friday 26 April, Year 9 Computing students went on an exciting trip to Legoland! They attended a robotics workshop where they built their own robots and coded movements, sounds and light using a coding programming called SpikePrime. The students thoroughly enjoyed this and were able to put their coding skills to the test! They were tasked to get their robot from one point on a miniature Legoland map to another. When students did not have a workshop they enjoyed the rides! We were lucky enough to be one of the few groups to enjoy the new racer rollercoaster which was great fun!
