Our school community is bustling with fantastic achievements, events and community projects. You can read our news stories and announcements below.
On Monday 26th February, some of our students took part in an Elite Skills morning led by the Army. This involved an in-depth talk with a current soldier who works within the HR department. He shared his experience getting to where he is today and the different job roles they have within the army, including how he has had the opportunity to play basketball all over the world through his job.
On Tuesday 20th February, the U16 girls hosted The Minster School for the semi final of the South Notts Cup.

On Thursday, 8th February, our Year 11 GCSE and Year 12 A Level Art students had a fantastic day developing their skills and portfolio work with visiting artists Julian Bray, a freelance commercial artist, and Hedboy, a tattoo artist and graphic designer.
Year 10 Work Experience Week runs from 29th January to 2nd February. Work Experience gives students the opportunity to spend a week in a business or industry that they may consider pursuing a career in, such as a veterinary practice, school or law firm. They usually observe at different levels of the business and get a feel for how it operates as a whole. Work Experience isn't like a Saturday job, instead our students work or shadow at the level of their career ambitions. Our Year 10 cohort begin their Work Experience in the way that any jobseeker should begin their journey to employment: by researching and applying for their positions. Our students have been successful in securing placements in ambulance maintenance, Nottingham Magistrates Court, primary schools, engineering companies, dog grooming businesses, hairdressers, restaurants, IT companies, opticians, dentists and so much more.
The Key Stage 4 pathways evening takes place at 7pm on Thursday 22nd February. For more information and to confirm attendance, download the letter below.
