Our Year 9s have had their very first taste of pastry making and they absolutely smashed it!

They started by creating a basic pastry using flour and butter, using the rubbing‑in method to form soft breadcrumbs. After adding cheese and just a little water, they brought their dough together beautifully.

Once ready, students rolled out their dough and chose to make either cheese straws, twists or biscuits. Their creations looked amazing😁✨👏

Our Art students have been getting creative with mono printing experiments. This expressive technique allows students to create unique prints by making marks on a smooth surface before transferring their design onto paper. Each print can only be pulled once, encouraging bold choices, confidence and creativity.

It has been fantastic to see students exploring mark making, layering and texture, and really pushing their ideas further. Their enthusiasm and willingness to experiment shines through in their outcomes 🎨✨👏

Our Year 7 scientists have been buzzing!

They explored the fascinating world of pollination, discovering just how vital insects are to our ecosystem. Students investigated how pollen fertilises an ovule to create a new seed, deepening their understanding of the life cycle of plants. It was wonderful to see such curiosity and great scientific thinking in action 🌼🔬✨

Our Year 7 scientists have been busy studying germination and they have done a brilliant job. They confidently identified their independent variable (volume of water), dependent variable (number of seeds that germinated) and control variables (number of seeds, type of seeds, mass of cotton wool). Lots of accurate measuring and counting took place and they really showed how much we love maths in science 🌱🔬✨

Our Travel and Tourism students have been stepping into the role of real researchers. Using open ended questions, they gathered qualitative insights as part of their course, plenty of curiosity, great conversations and learning that felt genuinely real and fun.

It has been fantastic to see them develop confidence in their communication skills while exploring how research is used in the travel and tourism industry. 🌍📝✨

Our Year 7 students made some lovely cakes, which they are excited to decorate at home with cream and jam! 🍰✨

Our Year 10s have also been busy learning the art of sauce making. The focus was on creating a roux. Every student successfully made a smooth white sauce, added cheese, and then chose what to make with it. We had Mac and Cheese, Lasagne, cauliflower and broccoli cheese and lots of other delicious pasta dishes. A fantastic effort from everyone! 👏🧀💛

Our Year 9 students are getting creative!

They are currently working on an exciting business marketing project, developing their own new ice cream flavour. Using both primary and secondary research, they have been exploring customer preferences through questionnaires, analysing competitor data, and designing their own packaging, slogans and branding.
We cannot wait to see their innovative ideas come to life 🍦✨👏
