  • Year 4 pupils shine at Write2Speak

    Year 4 pupils shine at Write2Speak

    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.

  • Year 9 explore the University of Oxford

    Year 9 explore the University of Oxford

    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.
