This week we have been focusing on Holocaust Memorial Day. Members of the school community lit candles on Wednesday to remember those who were murdered for who they were, and to stand against prejudice today. This photo is from a Yr 8 student #lightthedarkness

We are delighted to have been awarded the Sandwell Well-Being Charter Mark.

Year 8 students did really well in their ‘speedy challenge’ to find research facts to help them answer questions about the relationship between Elizabeth I and her cousin Mary Queen of Scots.

Yr 10 and 11 students are continuing to produce high quality Art GCSE work from home! Well done!

Here is some graphics work from one of our year 8 students, who has gone “beyond the brief” to design and actually produce a badge. Very impressive!

Brilliant online Drop Everything and Read Lesson yesterday in A Level Media. We read and discussed an article from The Guardian arguing why Nordic Noir is much better binge watching during lockdown than NCIS, Friends or The Masked Singer!

The deadline for sixth form applications is 29th January. See website for more information and application form.

Four of our yr13s have completed their EPQ qualification early this year have been awarded A*. Two of them gained full marks! We are extremely proud of Theo, Megan, Rene & Trisha! Congratulations and thanks to everyone who supported them, including their supervisor Ms Findlay.

Well done to all the Year 13 students that have completed mock exams over the past 2 weeks. Year 11 students start their exams on the first day back in January.
