Year 11 Food preparation and nutrition students coursework
March 2019
Our Year 11 GCSE Food Preparation & Nutrition students have now completed their practical cooking assessment where they showcased a range of skills. The task was to create three dishes from the Asian culture with consideration given to presentation. They have researched Asian foods and completed a number of trial practical’s leading to their final three courses. Our students were creative and showed a wide range of practical skills and they should be very proud of their achievements.
George Allen – Autism Film Writer
March 2019
On Friday March 8th George Allen was a speaker on a panel at the National Autistic Society Professionals conference at the ICC in Birmingham.
A year ago, he created a film with a group of autistic students to explain the experience of autism to teachers, in particular. The film has won an award at a New York film festival and is being shown in schools and workshops nationally. The auditorium was massive but George did a great job of answering the questions put to him.
Well done George! We are very proud of you!
Comic Relief
March 2019
Rainbow Class and Orange Class walked, wheeled and ran a mile for Comic Relief. They raised a lot of money! Mrs Marshall joined in the fun too!
Calvert Trust
Jan 2019
On the 11th February, thirteen Year 9 students and four staff went on our annual visit to the Calvert Trust in the Lake District. On the Monday, after our ‘epic’ four hour journey up the M6 and a different country roads, we arrived, raring to go. Over the subsequent four days, our students took part in a wide range of activities, ranging from bush-craft, canoeing and swimming, high ropes and climbing. All our students showed a great enthusiasm and desire when undertaking different challenges and over-came their fears and anxieties.
Our students were an absolute credit to the school throughout the week, and received lots of positive comments from the different staff members. Also, I would like to give a massive thank you to Mrs Saunders, Miss Pinfield and Mrs Smith for their help and support throughout the week.
