Year Seven
Humanities
The Year 7 students have worked hard on their end-of-term ancient history project. Throughout this process, they have learned the importance of identifying reliable sources and how to paraphrase information effectively. As they developed their inquiry questions and conducted in-depth research, they applied these skills to formulate their final submissions. We look forward to sharing their impressive work with you soon.

We’re thrilled to announce that our school band made a remarkable debut at the recent assembly, delivering an impressive performance that captivated the entire secondary school. With just one song on their setlist, the band showcased their talent and hard work in a way that left everyone cheering.
Rehearsals took place during school hours, and the students dedicated themselves fully to preparing for this moment. Their enthusiasm and commitment were evident in every note as they took to the stage. The song they performed was a high-energy rock/pop hit that had the whole assembly buzzing with excitement.
The performance was a testament to the students’ teamwork and the skilful guidance of our band directors. The band’s ability to come together and deliver such a polished performance in front of their peers was awe-inspiring.
A big thank you to all the students, staff, and parents who supported the band’s journey and cheered them on during their debut. We’re excited to see what’s next for our talented musicians and look forward to more performances in the future.
