What a brilliant day we’ve had at our Rodeo Celebration!
This event was all about recognising and rewarding pupils who consistently show our school values and meet expectations – and what a celebration it was!
Pupils threw on their cowboy hats and enjoyed an action-packed day with something for everyone: line dancing, the ‘Miami Trip’ ride, rodeo pig and bull, inflatables, ice cream, candy floss, popcorn, penalty shootouts, craft stalls, and of course, karaoke (always a favourite!).
A big congratulations to Fallow House, who earned the most house points this year and bagged themselves a free ride on the rodeo pig and bull – great effort!
Huge thanks to Miss Lindsey, Head of House System, for organising such a fantastic event. We’re also grateful to all the staff who helped on the day, and a big well done to our Sixth Formers and Pupil Leadership team for running stalls and keeping things running smoothly.
We hope you enjoy the photo highlights below!

Our annual Sports Day was packed with energy, effort, and lots of fun. Our pupils gave it their all in a wide range of events, showing great sportsmanship and determination throughout. From sprints to relays (and everything in between!), there was something for everyone.
A huge shoutout to our amazing PE team for putting the whole day together so smoothly – your effort behind the scenes made it all possible. Thanks also to all staff who helped out and cheered on the action, and to our brilliant Year 12 volunteers who kept things running like clockwork.
We’re proud of every pupil who took part – you made it a day to remember. And of course, a special mention for the ever-popular staff race and Miss Lindsey’s top-tier commentary, which definitely brought the fun!
Take a look below to catch some of our favourite moments from the day. Thanks again to everyone who helped make it such a success – we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Pupils enjoyed a fantastic Sports Day today. In light of the hot weather, we made adjustments to keep everyone safe and comfortable, including water stations, sun cream dispensers, shaded areas, with an extended lunchtime and extra supervision to ensure pupils were sat in shade. The sports hall was also available for those needing a break from the sun throughout the day.
When not on the field, pupils took part in indoor personal development sessions. When your child arrives home this evening, we recommend they stay hydrated and avoid the sun.
We look forward to seeing everyone at tomorrow’s Rodeo Day!

We were delighted to welcome former CTA pupil and recent graduate, Michael Harvey, back to school this week to lead an architecture workshop with a group of our pupils.
Pupils took part in a design competition, gaining a valuable insight into the world of architecture. Working in teams, they designed 3D pavilion structures for a location on our school site and presented their concepts to the class.
Thank you, Michael, for inspiring the next generation of designers!
