• 🎉 Food Technology Update 🎉

  Tue 16 Sep 2025

  To make things easier for families, we’ll now be purchasing all the ingredients needed for Food Technology lessons in school. This means parents won’t need to buy individual items anymore! 🙌

  We kindly ask for a £5 contribution per student, per term, which will be added to your ParentPay at the start of each term.

  🍽️ Important:
  If your child has any allergies, or there are religious or cultural dietary requirements, please email their House Manager so we can make the necessary arrangements.

  📦 Reminder: Students should still bring their own container for taking food home.

  Thanks for your support! 💙

• 🌟 Student Spotlight: Poppy's Comeback Year! 🌟

  Wed 09 Jul 2025

  We are bursting with pride for our amazing Year 9 student, Poppy!

  After a tough season last year where nerves got the better of her, Poppy missed out on competing at English level. But she didn’t give up. She worked hard, stayed focused, and came back stronger than ever 💪

  This year, not only did she qualify for the English Finals in 10th place, but she also overcame a dramatic fall in training (we won’t talk about that! 😅) and still gave it her all on the big stage in Coventry today.

  Even though her second routine didn’t go as planned, Poppy finishes the season ranked 17th in England in the 13–14 age group! 🇬🇧✨

  More importantly, she’s learned that determination pays off — and as she proudly says, this was her comeback year.

  👏 Well done, Poppy — your resilience and spirit inspire us all!
