Three Year 7 Community Ambassadors, Josh, Luke and Archer have been working incredibly hard on their ‘In History This Month’ display.
This month they have written about Remembrance and included some of year 8’s poppies which have what Remembrance mean to them written inside them.
They even included a QR code to the Royal British Legion’s website!
We’re all looking forward to see what they come up with next month!
A huge thank you to all of you who baked, donated or bought cakes today. There was an amazing spread. Below is a report from one of our community ambassadors describing today’s bake sale.
Today, Sixth Form ran the annual Macmillan Cancer Support Bake sale and it was a great success! We`ve had support in the form of baking and selling from both staff and Sixth form. We sold everything from cookies to cakes, rocky road to Bakewell tarts and all of them went down a treat with students and staff. One year 9 student who ran a Fairtrade stall earlier this week at parents’ evening, took home the leftover bananas to make some beautiful banana and chocolate chip cupcakes which were delightful!
A big thank you to all who baked, sold or bought cakes, we were able to raise £346.43 and this will be gratefully received by Macmillan Cancer Support. We hope you will all continue to support us with future bake sales and other fundraising events we have on the horizon.

Medicine Ball Challenge – Update
We are now on our 6th day and it’s fair to say that both are feeling the strain.
Students are going out of the way to offer support and we have received freshly baked cake and offers of support between lessons.
On Tuesday evening Miss Slesser attended the committee meeting for the local foodbank where she was made to feel very welcome. The committee are delighted that our new Community Ambassadors will be working with them and had lots of suggestions as to how they might do this. We will be having our first collection for the foodbank at the open evening this Thursday 14th September.
Thank you so much to all of you that have supported us so far, either through sponsorship or moral support – it is greatly appreciated. Our current fundraising total is £669.

The Medicine Ball Challenge (soldierscharity.org)
Medicine Ball Challenge
We started this challenge at 12.30 on Friday when Mr Wilson attached us to the medicine balls.
A really positive start with a fly-past from the Red Arrows, which I like to think was for us and not just their routine practice. Many conversations were had in the afternoon about what we were doing and why and I even had 2 of our 6th formers come and find me to help share the load between lessons.
We both soon realised that even the simplest of tasks took much more time and effort. Putting the washing on the line now involves a series of chairs placed around my garden to balance the ball on so that I can reach the line!
