We were delighted to hear speaker @alexstaniforth_ addressing our new pupils during our Year 12 Induction day. He shared inspiring stories of adversity and resilience. Encouraging our pupils to embrace discomfort and to see adversity as an opportunity to test your skills and build mental toughness. Inspiring stuff to kick of the year! 🗻🗻🗻

📚💬 Year 12 Economics – Engaging in Harkness Style Discussion
During a recent Year 12 Economics lesson, our students embraced the Harkness discussion method, sitting together to explore key economic concepts through thoughtful, open dialogue. In this student-led approach, the teacher steps back as a facilitator, allowing students to guide their own learning and engage in meaningful, collaborative discussions.
This interactive style fosters critical thinking, encourages diverse perspectives, and cultivates an environment where students learn from one another, preparing them for the challenges ahead. 🌟

LEAP INTO ACTION
Open Event
Clearly an academically driven department, it’s refreshing to meet the Head of Sixth, Martin Walker, and hear that the students get the support and encouragement to find and follow their own path whatever that may be – from setting up their own business or doing an apprenticeship.
The school delivers on its motto of ‘Developing Remarkable People’ – students are notably engaging and enjoy taking part in everything the school has to offer.
