Summer Soiree
On the 5th of October twelve students from years 8 up to 12 took part in a residential trip to the Derbyshire Peak District with Miss Forth and Mr Keane. Friday evening saw some good old fashioned fun as we walked a section of the Tissington trail that took us through what used to be a railway tunnel, exploring Ashbourne and finally discovering the chip shop!
Once at Ilam Hall we launched ten Chinese lanterns into a pitch black sky which was very atmospheric.
Saturday was spent walking along the Dove Valley along the river over the famous stepping stones and exploring caves.
At the half way point we fed some hungry ducks.
On the way back we stopped off at a well known and popular fast food restaurant for lunch.
We raised over £1,800 for Children in Need and associated charities last Friday. This is a fantastic achievement and the money raised will go to improve the lives of children less fortunate than ourselves. Many thanks and congratulations to all our fundraisers!
On Monday 12th and Thursday 15th of November the Btec Engineers from Yr 11 had the opportunity to visit the RAF’s restoration workshops at the Aerospace Museum Cosford. We saw at first hand the high standard of workshop practise that these engineers work to. The aircraft being restored ranged from wood and canvas from the First World War to Harrier Jump Jets still in service. The visit gave us a fascinating insight into the work of the Museums engineers.
Our Year 12 team have enjoyed considerable success in this year’s Maths Challenge and have improved their performance from last year winning 2 Gold, 5 Silver and 17 Bronze certificates.
Congratulations!
