Our Year 9 students visited Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of Premier League Inspires – a programme using the power of sport to help young people build confidence, life skills & future opportunities.
Through workshops on healthy living & careers, students built confidence in exploring career options & understanding future pathways, before finishing the day with a guided stadium tour.
Congratulations to Rowan class, who took home gold at the Panathlon Challenge SEN event at Lee Valley Athletics Centre.
The pupils competed in a range of multi-sports activities and were a real credit to the school.

David is a highly experienced senior leader who knows the school well and is already working closely with the leadership team to support a smooth transition.
David said:
“Our school is a diverse, inclusive community where every student is known, supported, and encouraged to achieve their best. We are committed to high standards of behaviour, strong teaching, and a culture where learning, respect, and ambition come first.”

Ten of our Year 4 pupils recently took part in the Write2Speak showcase at the Dugdale Arts Centre, performing alongside children from other local schools.
Write2Speak deliver spoken-word workshops that help young people express themselves, explore meaningful topics and share their own voice.
After a series of workshops in school, our pupils stood on stage and shared their spoken-word pieces with confidence, clarity and so much heart. They were a real credit to our school, and their families were incredibly proud.
Thank you to our staff for supporting the pupils, and to all the parents who came along to cheer them on.
A group of 25 Year 9 students spent the day at the prestigious University of Oxford. The visit was all about opening doors and expanding horizons.
Students toured Balliol College, one of the oldest colleges in the English-speaking world, and took part in an English Literature masterclass led by an Oxford PhD student. They showed real confidence and thoughtful engagement throughout.
This was far more than a day trip. It gave students powerful knowledge and experiences that can help shape their future.
