Earlier this term a group of Year 7 students participated in the Network Rail Lightbulb Moments workshop. Delivered by Talent Foundry, they were given a series of challenges based on the real-life scenarios employees of Network Rail face in their day to day jobs.

Throughout the workshop students gained awareness of the different opportunities available in the rail industry as well as developing their skills in communication, problem solving and teamwork.

We would also like to thank all of the volunteers from Network Rail who supported the event and gave students invaluable insight into their jobs.

We are looking to appoint a HLTA who wants to join an experienced, supportive, committed team of like-minded colleagues and make a real different with our young people. Click here for more information.

To commemorate the important event of Holocaust Memorial Day we are holding a number of assemblies this week. Students will learn about the events that unfolded and the impact they have had.

We are also proud to share that two of our students, Esme and Wania will become Holocaust ambassadors. Both students will visit Auschwitz in March through the Lessons with Auschwitz project. This will include a guided visit where they will further develop their knowledge of the harrowing experiences faced by the Holocaust victims.

Today four of our amazing students spent the afternoon at Peterborough City Hospital. All four students are regular Dorset Walkers and keen supporters of The Malcolm Whales Foundation

Their impact today was to deliver, setup and road test £2500 worth of tech for the cancer ward.

The money has been raised by all the amazing Dorset Walkers and 10 Hours of Sport students at KSA and across the city.

Delivering this TMWF donation will make such a difference to so many patients and families.
