Day 2 of Year 10 drop-down. One group of students took part in a tower-building challenge. The winning team had a tower over 2m high! Great team work from everybody!

Today has also been Day 1 of Sixth Form drop-down for Year 10, giving them a taste of what life in the sixth form is like.

At lunchtime, the next round of the House chess tournament took place. The tension is starting to build as we enter the final heats.

It’s been a busy start to the week. First up, it’s Piano Week and we have been treated to some superb playing at break, lunch and after school.

We loved meeting our new Year 7 students today. They met their tutor, used the canteen and had a lesson to give them a taste of what’s to come in September. We look forward to seeing you all then!

Year 12 yesterday had a discussing on careers in construction with John Green MBE and discovering they're not what you might think!
