Year 7 artwork competition

We’re thrilled to have collaborated with Stepnell, the complete construction partner for a new leisure centre at Stychbrook Park! As part of their community engagement, they invited our pupils to participate in a competition exploring what a healthy lifestyle means to them.

Led by Miss Blackham, Teacher of Art, and Mrs J Poppleton, Director of Careers, our Year 7 pupils submitted an incredible array of creative artwork. The winning pieces will be transformed into a mural displayed in the new leisure centre.

A huge thank you to Natasha Heritage, Social Value Manager at Stepnell, for visiting us collect the artwork and for fostering this fantastic connection between creativity and career inspiration. Next year, we look forward to taking some of the winning pupils to see their artwork featured in the building.

Stepnell will also be joining us at the Employment Futures Expo next week—don’t miss the chance to connect with them and explore exciting career pathways in construction and beyond!

Independent Learning Quiz success!

Year 9 pupils took part in an Independent Learning Quiz based on Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night. Each Personal Development Group entered a team, with participants earning two House Points for their efforts. Pupils showcased their research skills by independently exploring the history of Guy Fawkes before competing in a quiz designed around their findings.

A big congratulations to Androniki and Lucie, who were the winners with an impressive score of 9/10! They both earned ten House Points and some well-deserved chocolates.

Well done to all the pupils who took part for their enthusiasm and hard work—it’s great to see such fantastic teamwork and commitment!
