Year 9 Parents Evening

By Mr D Lord23rd April 2018

Year 9 Parents Evening is on Monday 30 April, between 3.45pm and 6.15pm. This provides you with an opportunity to meet with your child’s subject teachers, to discuss progress towards targets and their expected outcomes for the end of their first year of GCSE studies.  It is also an ideal opportunity to discuss how they have settled in and how best you can support them.

Students will be given appointment sheets tomorrow to make their appointments with subject teachers. If you are not available on the night and would like to arrange a meeting with your child’s Continent Leader during the school day, please contact the school to arrange an appointment.

Pancake Pandemonium!

By Ms A Greenwood23rd March 2018

A massive ‘Well Done’ to Henry Pemberton and Liam Colleran, both Year 8 students, who assisted by Miss Widdowson and Ms Greenwood, provided staff throughout the school with pancakes for breakfast over the last two days.

They offered a variety of fillings and toppings including fresh strawberries, chocolate sprinkles and traditional lemon and sugar. They worked extremely hard and were in school well before 8 am each day to get organised.

Between them they cooked over 50 pancakes and served around 30 staff members. However the best bit is that as a result of their amazing effort, they raised £56 for a local charity Wil’s Wishes. Well done boys!

Escape Room Challenge

By Miss C Jackson14th March 2018

Last month, Miss Jackson and Mr Trickett took six of our most able Year 9 Mathematicians to the Escape Room in Preston. They had just 60 minutes to solve challenging puzzles to escape the interactive and intuitive real-life game or risk being locked in forever!

They started the game handcuffed together – including Mr Trickett! They worked hard together as a team and solved ALL of the problems however, they were just minutes away from escaping the room in time!

The students involved were:

  • Yusuf Ahmed
  • Morgan Grimshaw
  • Reuben Barnes
  • Luke Crawford
  • Kyle Ashworth
  • Owen Geary

Well done boys – super proud of you. See you when you get out!
