“Ready, Steady, Action!” Block On Thursday the 13th October, Mrs Giles’ block group visited the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield with ten students. “The Film School was fascinating because it introduced us to new concepts and creative techniques. We had a guided tour which was lovely because the tour guides were incredibly friendly, and they showed us everything which the school has to offer. I particularly enjoyed the film sets as well as the detail used in model making for the animations. We were delighted to be able to watch the students work in the cinema. It was a…
Year 8 – Forest School 8Y had a brilliant lesson planting up and repurposing some old bath tubs which would have otherwise gone to waste. They had to collect stones for the bottom of the bath before they could start planting. They planted one with herbs and one with fruit and have taken on the responsibility of regularly watering them.
Year 9 Avon Tyrrell New Forest 2022 Our trip to Avon Tyrrell was fun, challenging and very rewarding. It was scary to spend the week away from our friends and family, with just a few teachers for company. We had some highlights of the week including, an amazing disco where we dance all night. Indulging in face masks and popcorn whilst watching a movie on the last night. Making it to the top of the Rock Climbing wall before pretending to be Mary Poppins on the way back down. Not only having the courage to kayak and paddle our own…
Message From The Headteacher – Autumn Term Dear Parents, What a momentous start to the academic year. We started the term well with a whole school trip to Cotswold Wildlife Park, where we could get to know each other better and enjoy the magnificent range of wildlife on show. This trip had been postponed from last year due to the heatwave, and proved to be a great day out. This was such a contrast to the very sad news of the death of our Queen. We have been finding out more about her reign and her life in our lessons,…

PE Department – Tennis Festival at Halton We were very lucky to have Tennis coaching from professional coaches during a Tennis festival. We got to play inside a Tennis Dome, which was strange to begin with as the floor had sand on it. Joe was very good at giving us lots of different activities to try, which helped us to work on our co-ordination, footwork and Tennis shots. After a warm up we played some competitive games against each other, trying to gain as many points as possible. It was very enjoyable being able to play Tennis at a proper…
Stony Dean & Alfriston Street Dance Block This half term, our collaborative block with Stony Dean, our students have been street dancing! Professional street dancers, Luke and Maddie, have come in each week to teach the students a variety of street dance styles. They have learnt hip hop, house, popping and locking, with each of these styles providing new and challenging steps and techniques. Over the course of the six weeks, the students have put together a routine that includes sections of each street dance style. These segments have been filmed and put together to create a one-of-a-kind music video!…
