Congratulations to all our Year 8s who have undertaken school-specific mock exams this week. This preparation has been vital, and enabled them to familiarise themselves with the content, style and format of the entrance papers they will sit next term. We look forward to holding our first virtual parents’ consultations next week, so teachers can provide feedback.

Upper School High Performance Academy The Year 7 and 8 High Performance Academy is in full swing on a Wednesday morning, pushing the students to their max. This term students are focusing on a few different aspects of fitness. They are all put through their paces with a variety of different workouts looking at power, muscular endurance and cardiovascular fitness. All have been working extremely hard and it shows the dedication, time and effort that they are putting into their sports.
Science The Year 8s this week have been tasked with an interesting challenge: to conduct research, and create a project describing a recent discovery in the scientific world. The first lesson involved the children exploring some initial titles for their projects, some of which are below. I am looking forward to seeing how these projects evolve!
And in the forms this week…..
8M have been busy this week delivering interesting presentations during form time to improve their research and presentation skills. The children have been choosing news articles that are of interest to them and breaking them down into short, interesting presentations to give to the class.
