Yr 10 Work Experience

  By

Our Year 10 students took part in work experience last week, 17th – 21st March. The students were encouraged to find their own placements to fit with their individual career ideas or activities they enjoy. There was a wide range of placements including Engineering, Education and Pre School, Farming, Animal Care, Construction, Office based, Hairdressing, Retail and many more.

These photos show some of the amazing opportunities they had whilst on placement.
A big thank you to all of the employers who supported us with our work experience programme.

  By

Our U14 Netball Team competed in the East Midlands Regional Netball Tournament in Repton on Saturday. Not only did we place first in the tournament, we were also undefeated. Our Branston team will now be in the National Netball Tournament in March. The team demonstrated brilliant skills and team work, their determination and resilience was unmatched!!

The journey to Regionals….

In October, At the District Tournament they were undefeated champions, then in November they were undefeated champions of the County round which then led on to this Saturdays Regional Tournament.

We are incredibly proud of their hard work and determination. We cannot wait to support them to Nationals!
