Today, our pupils took part in a fantastic Drop-Down Day focused on personal development through a range of engaging workshops.

Year 7 explored when ‘banter’ crosses the line into bullying, harassment, or abuse in a session led by Libby Flenley, covering identity, consent, boundaries, peer pressure, and online behaviour. They also completed a ‘Stop the Bleed’ session with Mrs Benton, developing vital life-saving skills.

Year 8 pupils participated in workshops on internet safety and relationships, exploring digital deception, learning to identify deepfakes and manipulated images, as well as key online safety principles.

Year 9 students engaged in an important workshop with Libby, examining the impact of pornography on relationships and consent, helping them to distinguish fantasy from reality and encouraging healthy, respectful attitudes.

Across all year groups, pupils enjoyed a variety of outdoor team-building activities, strengthening collaboration, communication, and peer support. A great day of learning beyond the classroom!
