Yesterday our Safer Schools Officer, PC Chris Baker, gave an informative and engaging talk to our Year 9 students. Delivered in small groups, he discussed hard hitting topics such as knife crime, online safety and gang violence. Students were guided through the topics and given advice on how to keep themselves and their friends safe with the key message that there is no reset button in real life.

It is always a pleasure to end the school day with a meeting of Book Club. It is a reminder that there of pockets of time in our busy lives where we can find rest and relaxation in a positive, meaningful way.

A reminder that our new slot is the last Thursday of every month. New books are given out and the previous book returned and discussed. Our new book for this month is A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll. There are spare books available if you were unable to attend the meeting.

On Monday we were privileged to host Anthony Bennett, an international speaker who inspires audiences globally. Anthony took students through his journey, from his life-threatening battle with a number of infections as a teenager, to helping to secure a £7.5m partnership between Whitbread PLC and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.

He motivated students to think about the choices they make and to make the most of every opportunity that comes their way, giving examples of how he's shown resilience through adversity and providing tools to allow them to do the same.
