We are incredibly proud to support Mariama, a Year 9 pupil, in her mission to raise funds for the Little Princess Trust. This wonderful charity creates wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment and conditions like Alopecia.
Mariama will be cutting and donating her hair to the charity and aims to raise £1,500. Her dedication and generosity reflect her outstanding character and commitment to helping others.
Mariama is a fantastic pupil, actively involved in various school activities. She is a valuable member of the Pupil Leadership Team and has been an asset in the library as a Pupil Librarian. Her contributions make our school a better place, and now she is extending her kindness beyond our walls.
Let’s show Mariama our support! If you are able to, please consider sponsoring her by clicking this link.
Thank you for helping us support Mariama and the Little Princess Trust!

Today, our Sixth Form pupils have voted for members of their Sixth Form Committee. Prior to the elections, each candidate wrote a manifesto to demonstrate to their peers why they should be elected to their chosen position within the committee.
The positions up for election were:
– Chair
– Accommodation Secretary
– Social Secretary
– Charity Secretary
We are eagerly anticipating the results as the votes are being counted. The elected candidates will be announced in the coming days.
The Sixth Form Committee plays a vital role in giving pupils a voice in Sixth Form life and in planning upcoming events. Their first task will be to organise the annual charity rounders tournament, which is set to take place next term.
A huge well done and best of luck to all of the candidates!

We are excited to share that the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Careers Hub has once again partnered with Amazing Apprenticeships for a vital research project. This initiative aims to support schools in the design, creation, and analysis of a county-wide Technical and Vocational Survey for Teachers and parents/carers.
This project will provide both the Careers Hub and individual schools/colleges with crucial insights into the knowledge and confidence levels of teachers and parents when it comes to supporting pupils in exploring technical and vocational pathways.
We have communicated this survey to all parents/carers in Years 7-10 and Year 12 via the MyChildAtSchool app. We kindly ask that you take a few moments to complete it. Your participation is invaluable and will directly impact the quality of guidance and support we can provide to our pupils. The surveys are now live and will remain open until the half-term.
Thank you for your continued support.

This week, during Forest School sessions, our pupils learned about how to safely create a fire in order to boil water and cook food outside.
After a thorough safety instruction, pupils learned the essential skills of building a safe and controlled fire using materials like twigs, wood, and cotton wool. They discovered the importance of fire safety and how to responsibly manage flames in outdoor settings.
Pupils then had the opportunity to put their newfound knowledge into action by filling up the Kelly Kettles and boiling water over the open flames. As a result of their hard work they enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate, brewed over the fire they made.
Forest School provides invaluable opportunities for our pupils to connect with nature and develop practical skills. We’re incredibly proud of their efforts in mastering new skills!

This week, we have celebrated two incredible pupils who exemplify the spirit of generosity and dedication to learning.
Aiden, year 7, met with Miss J Devereux, Assistant Headteacher, to celebrate his remarkable act of kindness. Aiden made the selfless decision to donate all his savings from his money box to Stephen Sutton’s fundraising for the Teenage Cancer Trust. His compassion and generosity are truly inspiring!
Henry, year 8, has been recognised for his outstanding efforts in the classroom. Nominated by his German teacher, Henry met with Mrs C Cain, Assistant Headteacher, for his unwavering commitment to learning and his exemplary participation. Henry consistently engages with enthusiasm, volunteering answers readily and asking insightful questions that demonstrate his thoughtful approach to language learning.
Congratulations to Aiden and Henry for their nominations!
Please note, we are still accepting nominations for Thankful Thursday and Feel Good Friday, however, due to the current GCSE examinations taking place, there may be some disruption to the celebrations.
