Psychology
In Psychology, Year 13 students have been learning about localisation of function and hemispheric lateralisation of the brain. To embed their learning they were given the opportunity to carry out a brain dissection on a sheep’s brain and see the location of the different lobes and specific areas such as the corpus callosum and the cerebellum. In doing so they were able to apply and extend their knowledge of the different brain functions that we study in Psychology. Students enjoyed seeing the brain up close! Thank you to the Science department for supporting our students with this.
Happy Diwali from all at Chace!

Extended Project Qualification
Our common room could have been mistaken for a PhD lecture theatre this afternoon as our fabulous Sixth Form presented their Extended Project Qualification research and findings. Topics included the representation of the female body in art, the problems with our current electoral system, the ethics of embryonic gene editing and the causes of encephalopathies. Impressed? We certainly were!
Mental Health
Our Sixth Form are in yellow to show each other they are not alone with their mental health.
