Students from 7Y1 participated in a pilot afterschool club that combined Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). The theme of the pilot was bird watching. Students researched types of birds found around the school, did statistical analysis of where the birds were found, and made their own bird boxes. The pilot appeared to be a success, consequentially STEM club will be run next year, studying a different topic and have spaces for more students to participate.

We look forward to seeing everyone in September.

As the end of term is fast approaching, we would like to inform you of our intentions for the last week of the Summer Term:

• Monday 18^th & Tuesday 19^th July – lessons as usual (uniform to be worn)

• Wednesday 20^th July – Activity Day – college uniform need not be worn
• Thursday 21^st July – Students leave at 12:00 pm – college uniform need not be worn

If any parent/carer wishes their child to be kept at college until the normal closing time because early closure would cause problems, please contact main reception on 01623 464220 and arrangements will be made to supervise students until normal closing time.

Some of our Year 9 students Georgia Charlsworth, Megan Johnson and Shannon Scott have had 3 Spanish students from Madrid staying with them.

The students have been here for three weeks to improve their English and experience English culture.
