Exploring Psychology in the real world!

Our Year 13 pupils recently visited The University of Staffordshire to learn about what studying psychology at university level would involve. They attended lectures on health psychology and learning & memory, participated in an interactive session on Lego therapy, and toured the university’s facilities and psychology labs.

It was a fantastic opportunity to explore how psychology applies to everyday life and future career paths. Thank you to The University of Staffordshire for hosting such an insightful day!

Year 11 Chemistry Practical

Our Year 11 pupils have been busy in their Chemistry lessons, completing the required practical of flame tests for metal ions.

They learned how different metal ions change the flame’s colour, seeing shades like green, lilac, and crimson. It’s been a great way to bring their learning to life!

Well done to all our pupils for their hard work.
