Lichfield Science and Engineering Society Award

We are thrilled to announce that one of our former pupils, Jamie, has been awarded the Lichfield Science and Engineering Society Award!

Jamie was nominated by our Science Department for his exceptional achievements in his recent A-Level examinations. Today, Jamie returned to receive his award of £50 and a certificate, presented by Jenny Arthur, Education Officer for the LSES. Jamie is now studying Medicine at the University of Birmingham, and it’s wonderful to see his hard work and passion for science being recognised!

Ms N Mason, Headteacher, shared, “It is always a pleasure to see our pupils return to us. Jamie is so well deserving of this award, and it has been wonderful to hear about how much he is enjoying his university course. We wish him all the best as he continues his studies.”

Congratulations, Jamie! We are incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see all that you accomplish.

Remembrance Day 2024

Today, our school community came together to honour Remembrance Day with a two-minute silence, led by our Deputy Headteacher, Mr. Cain, who played “The Last Post.”

Pupils from uniformed groups joined us in paying tribute to those who have served and sacrificed. We are proud of the respect shown by all our pupils during this meaningful moment. As we remembered those we’ve lost, our thoughts also extended to those currently serving, ensuring our safety and freedom. Together, we reflected on the importance of their sacrifices with deep gratitude.

Remembrance Week

As part of our Remembrance commemorations, Mrs C Cain, Assistant Headteacher, led assemblies on the importance of remembrance, gratitude, and respect for those who have served our country. To further show our appreciation, we launched a “Thank You” campaign inviting pupils and staff to complete a ‘Thank You’ poppy at lunchtime, now beautifully displayed outside our dinner hall. Poppies were also available in exchange for a small donation.

We are also proud of Daniel in Year 11, who represented our school by laying a wreath at the Burntwood Memorial this weekend. Additionally, all pupils in uniformed groups have been invited to wear their uniforms today, Monday, November 11th, to mark Remembrance Day.

Today, the entire school observed a two-minute silence, led by Mr Cain, Deputy Headteacher, who played ‘The Last Post’.

Mrs Benton’s Personal Development group also created a beautiful door display to pay their respects.

As a school, we remember those who sacrificed their tomorrow for our today, and those who continue to serve.

We will remember.
