Signal 1 Creation Day - Written by Year 8

Overall it was a very fun day and we all enjoyed it a lot. We got to learn all about the radio, what happens behind the scenes and so much more. We started off by introducing ourselves and finding out from Max Mallen (the late night show presenter) what it’s like to be in a studio. Then, we came up with our own radio show which led up to the finale of us creating our very own radio advert to advertise our school.

Once again we are celebrating an amazing set of GCSE results with100% of our students achieving 5 or more grades 4-9.

Our students have exceeded the projected results they were anticipated, which demonstrates how our small class sizes and personal approach to teaching and learning are key factors in the results they achieved.

A special mention must be made of Francesca, Georgia and Ava who all achieved 5 or more grades 7-9.

Some of our senior tennis team girls and boys enjoyed a fantastic day at a blazing hot Wimbledon last Friday.

As we arrived the excitement levels rose as Roger Federer and Dan Evans were seen knocking up together on the practice court beside the minibus park.
