We are proud to celebrate three colleagues recognised in the John Taylor MAT ‘Cheers for Peers’ awards for demonstrating the Trust values of Restlessness and Curiosity.
A special congratulations to Mr Lloyd, our first ever Values Champion. He has made a significant impact by securing Beacon School status for CTA through University College London, placing us among just 15 schools nationally recognised for excellence in Holocaust education. This achievement also brought the Quality Mark in Teaching Excellence, highlighting consistently outstanding practice.
We also celebrate Miss Blackham and Mrs Stretton, both nominated for going above and beyond in their roles. Miss Blackham was recognised for her dedication to our school production Into the Woods Jr, including running a costume club and giving her own time to support students, alongside her work supporting trainee teachers across the Trust.
Mrs Stretton was nominated for her relentless drive to understand the lived experience of neurodiverse pupils and find the right adjustments that make a real difference. She is constantly reading, researching and asking thoughtful questions – often in her own time – to ensure the latest insights are applied in our setting.
A fantastic achievement – well done to all three!

Today, Miss Devereux met with Hugo, who recently competed at the British Master Kids 2026 at Mildenhall MX over three days. Racing in the 85cc small wheel group, Hugo delivered an outstanding performance – achieving the hole shot in his first race (leading out of the very first corner after the start) and finishing with results of 3rd, 3rd, 1st, 1st, and 2nd.
With his impressive consistency and determination, Hugo secured 1st place overall – an incredible achievement!
We are so proud of you, Hugo – congratulations!

We are delighted to hear from our partner school, Notre-Dame de Bellegarde in France, who got in touch over the break to let us know they have received the pen-pal letters from our students. This exchange is a fantastic opportunity for students in both countries to develop their communication skills, deepen their cultural understanding and build confidence in language learning. We hope they enjoy reading them and look forward to receiving their responses soon.

We have so much to celebrate this week! Miss Devereux recently met with Ash and Emily, who have both achieved the prestigious Platinum Award with Scout Explorers. This is a remarkable accomplishment, requiring dedication, leadership, and the successful completion of a wide range of challenges, including leading activities and demonstrating strong problem-solving skills.
We are equally proud of sibling duo Isabella and Max, who train in mixed martial arts. Both recently competed at the European Championships at the Barnsley Metrodome, with Max securing a gold medal and Isabella earning bronze. They are now looking ahead with excitement as they prepare for future World Championship competitions.
Well done to all of our students – we are extremely proud of your dedication and achievements!

Our Sixth Form team have been working hard to develop an enhanced offer for our students as they prepare for university applications, particularly for the most competitive courses and institutions.
We place a strong emphasis on super-curricular engagement – activities that extend learning beyond the specification and encourage students to deepen subject knowledge, think independently, and develop genuine academic curiosity. Through carefully curated opportunities including wider reading, academic talks, research, digital resources and visits, students build confidence, resilience and a stronger love of learning.
To support this, our staff have created subject-specific super-curricular materials across all Sixth Form courses. These are now available under ‘Super-Curricular’ in the Sixth Form section of our school website: https://tinyurl.com/nhnp2ht5
