We are thrilled to share the incredible efforts of some of our Pupil Leadership Team members who recently took the lead in our ‘Teach the Teacher’ initiative.
These fantastic leaders volunteered their time to attend a special teaching and learning staff training session, focusing on a topic that affects us all – climate change. During the session, they engaged our staff in enlightening discussions, shedding light on the basics of climate change and its real-life impacts on the UK.
Among the eye-opening facts shared were projections indicating that 5 billion people are expected to lack sufficient water by 2050, and an 18% predicted shrink in the world economy over the next 30 years. These statistics underscore the urgency of addressing climate change and the profound implications it holds for our global community.
The Pupil Leadership Team members also delved into the concept of climate justice, emphasising the crucial link between human rights, development, and a human-centred approach. Their discussion highlighted the importance of safeguarding the rights of the most vulnerable and promoting an equitable distribution of the burdens and benefits associated with climate change resolution.
Finally, the team explored the impact of climate education in the classroom. They emphasised how integrating climate education into the curriculum can not only raise awareness but also enhance overall learning experiences for our students.
Mrs. C Cain, Assistant Headteacher, shared her thoughts on the session, stating: “It was a fantastic ‘Teach the Teacher’ session, and it was truly enlightening to see our Pupil Leadership members approach this with maturity and tenacity, with the aim to make real change.”
We applaud the dedication and passion of our Pupil Leadership Team members for taking proactive steps towards creating a more sustainable and informed future. Let’s continue working together to inspire positive change and foster a sense of responsibility towards our planet.

We are thrilled to share that today a group of our exceptional Year 10 pupils had the incredible opportunity to meet with Mr. David Clift, the founder of the non-profit Good Turns Foundation. This enlightening session revolved around the power of values and how they can shape a purposeful and thriving future.
All the pupils who participated in this special session were nominated by their dedicated form tutors for being outstanding ambassadors of our school values: respect, community, tenacity, and aspiration. The heart of the discussion was Mr. Clift’s introduction of the ‘Jewel of a School’ scheme, an initiative that focuses on improving psychological and physical well-being by recognising and rewarding the positive contributions young people make to others, communities, and the environment.
During the session, pupils reflected on how our school values are already being implemented, citing examples such as the CATCH Hub, anti-bullying and LGBTQIA+ awareness campaigns, community kindness initiatives, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, and Pupil Leadership, to name a few.
Miss H Pickerill, Pupil Leadership Coordinator, shared her thoughts on the importance of school values, saying, “Values are the compass that guide us in creating a positive and supportive learning environment. The conversation with Mr. Clift was truly interesting, and I am excited to see what the future holds for our pupils as they embrace these values in their initiatives.”
Let’s celebrate our incredible pupils and their commitment to making a positive impact on our school community!

As the H82BL8 campaign concludes, we are delighted to share the remarkable success achieved in our collective effort to reduce late minutes across the school. The campaign’s goal was to foster a culture of punctuality, and we are thrilled to announce the winners of this initiative.
A huge congratulations goes to the overall winners in each year group: 8R, 9R, 10O, and 11H. Your commitment to timeliness has set a commendable example for the entire school community. Each form will claim a prize for their fantastic efforts.
However, the spotlight shines particularly bright on form 7M, who demonstrated an extraordinary achievement by collecting absolutely zero late marks throughout the entire campaign. Not a single pupil was late, showcasing an exemplary dedication to punctuality. This is a remarkable feat that deserves special recognition and celebration.
Mr. D Inman, Assistant Headteacher, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “The H82BL8 campaign has resulted in a significant reduction late minutes across the school. This is a fantastic effort by 7M and all other winning form groups. Let’s build on this success even though the campaign has ended.”
Our pupils’ collective commitment to respecting time has not only created a more punctual and efficient school environment but has also instilled valuable habits that extend beyond the campaign’s duration. As we move forward, let’s continue to uphold these standards of punctuality, recognising the positive impact they have on our learning environment and the overall well-being of our school community.
Once again, congratulations to all the winning form groups, with special commendation to 7M for their exceptional achievement.
