On Thursday, 6th March, a group of Post-16 and Year 11 students attended the Babraham Institute's Schools Day. Students participated in projects covering a range of topics, from epigenetics to signalling in molecular biology.

Students gained hands-on experience with instrumental techniques, exploring how specific nutrients affect health and cutting DNA with restriction enzymes to analyse the reaction products.

They also attended a career presentation, learning about the diverse career paths that science can offer.

As part of our Safer February, we were delighted to welcome Lucien Moon to our school. Students thoroughly enjoyed his performance of his latest single and other songs. He also spoke candidly about his personal experiences with mental health, including seeing a therapist, and his journey after leaving The X Factor. His key message was to never give up.

On the 6th March we were yet again joined by the fantastic David Allton from Frontline Living History as he delivered an informative and engaging WW1 workshop to our Year 11 GCSE History students.  The workshop really brought the history they've been studying alive and we're sure David's enthusiastic and interactive delivery will definitely live with them long past their exams this summer!

Yesterday, students from our Year 9 and 10 Performing Arts classes were treated to an amazing performance by the National Theatre.

'The Left Behinds' immersed us in a post-apocalyptic world and showcased incredible sound, lighting, and creativity for our students; a fantastic opportunity to experience a professional production.

Our Year 9 drama students were also treated to a Q&A and workshop with the director, actors, and technical team afterwards.

Well done and thank you to everyone involved!

Earlier this term, we held a mock assessment workshop for our Post-16 students, led by a representative from the Apprenticeship Support and Knowledge (ASK) Programme.

The workshop provided valuable insights into how employers use assessment centres, particularly for large and competitive schemes. Students gained an understanding of what to expect at an assessment centre and had the opportunity to participate in a mock activity similar to those they may encounter in real-life scenarios.
