Reflecting on this year's theme: 'Ordinary people.' Students listened to powerful testimony from Holocaust survivor Dr Martin Stern, 'We are all ordinary people today who can be extraordinary in our actions. We can all make decisions to challenge prejudice, stand up to hatred.' https://t.co/N0dixyksow

Year 11 and Year 9 students have been working on their dissection skills in Biology. They've thoroughly enjoyed deepening their knowledge and understanding of the eye and the heart in a very hands on way. https://t.co/sOZhtzbMLh

Thank you to our fantastic Site Team who were on site yesterday and early this morning clearing paths, making the school car park safe, gritting and clearing playgrounds and steps. A return to school today would not have been possible without you. https://t.co/j0eHhs3C49

With very cold temperatures today , pupils do not need to wear uniform but should wear warm comfortable clothing. We will be operating our Monday timetable so school will finish today at 2.45. Nu Venture services to Kings Hill will run an earlier departure.

13 December

The school is open today. Registration will be later at 9.30am. This will give time for both pupils and staff who may have longer journeys in icy conditions to arrive safely . The school will of course be open at the normal time for any pupils who will be arriving earlier.
