At the start of the Easter holidays, our Year 13 students became the schools first cohort to have completed their DofE Gold expedition. Undertaking the challenging Snowdonia Slate Trail, our students showed exceptional resilience, teamwork, and determination throughout the expedition. This achievement is the result of many months of dedication and hard work, and it has been a privilege to watch them grow in confidence and independence along the way. Once all sections of the award are completed, students will be invited to attend a celebratory event at Buckingham Palace, marking the completion of this prestigious award and recognising all they have achieved. We are immensely proud of every student involved. Their commitment, perseverance, and positive attitude are a credit to themselves. This is an accomplishment they should look back on with great pride for years to come. @DofEUK @DofEWales The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
Eid Celebration 2026! Well done and thank you to everyone involved.
We were delighted to host our annual Triwizard Tournament in collaboration with Carerlon School. Students enthusiastically took part in a variety of engaging and imaginative "magical" activities, demonstrating teamwork, creativity, and excellent problem-solving skills throughout the day. The event also featured a Harry Potter–themed quiz, where participants showcased their impressive knowledge and passion for the series. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet and interact with peers from another school, fostering new friendships and a strong sense of community. We are incredibly proud of all those who took part and represented the school so positively. A truly memorable day celebrating the magic of Harry Potter.
Well done to the students from year 7- 10 who were given the opportunity to recently experience an artist event with Ophelia Dos Santos a Welsh textile artist. The students were given a talk on how the artist became an artist; allowing the students to understand the possibilities of art as a career in the future. They then produced their own textile art. Many thanks to the artist and @DiscoverCreativeCareers for enabling this opportunity. Miss Lockwood
