Mr Stone couldn’t resist joining in with Year 8 students’ recital of Buffalo Soldier in their music lessons this week. Impressive piano playing by our students, and lovely singing by Mr Stone!
Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter Bunny has been busy hiding eggs around school to help us raise money for Red Nose Day! It costs just £2 to take part (paid via ParentPay). If participating students find a cardboard egg hidden around the school at lunchtime on Thursday 21 March they can bring it to the ILR to exchange it for a real chocolate egg. There’s even mini chocolate eggs available just for taking part. See the poster below for more information.
Happy hunting!

Year 13 Disneyland Paris trip
Year 13 Computer Science, ICT and Media Studies students visited Disneyland Paris in half term. They had a great time and got to experience:
- a spectacular live drone and firework show
- a variety of Disney shows and parades
- how a company such as Disney are able to incorporate ICT throughout the park to create a unique customer experience (from virtual and augmented reality, animation techniques, motion sensors and 3D experiences)
- all the fantastic rides on offer
The students were all fantastic and have created lifelong memoires during their trip.
