Message from the Principal
This academic year we have introduced a number of school-wide collapsed days enabling us to bring wider curriculum enrichment to our students.
The days comprise of a broad range of new learning experiences to include interform sports, exploring British values through Art, Maths and Science, GCSE exam skills and university visits. As we go to press, we have our latest curriculum day focused on Ethics and Philosophy. Our year 7 and 8 students will be taking part in various sessions across a range of subject areas. Year 9 will be visiting a place of worship and then undertaking an extended piece of work. Year 10 continue their careers themed days with a number of students completing World of Work activities and focus on their CV in workshops. Year 11 focus on STEM exam skills and enjoy a visit from a History themed production company. Post 16 Students will be taking part in activities on a cultural diversity and ethics theme. Here is just a small sample of photos from our days so far:
Bryan Erwin Coronavirus COVID-19 update from the Department for Education
Current advice remains in place: No school should close in response to a suspected (or confirmed) COVID-19 case unless advised to do so by Public Health England. Personal hygiene is the most important way we can tackle COVID-19, in particular washing hands more; and the catch it, bin it, kill it strategy for those with coughs and sneezes will help in delaying the peak of the infection. Mr B Erwin Year 11 Countdown
Year 11 Public Examinations start in earnest in just 9 weeks time. Students should ensure that they attend Unit 6 lessons every school day where teachers are available to support with exam knowledge, skills and techniques. They also have a plentiful supply of work that they should be completing individually at home. Additionally there are some useful files here on our school website for our Core Subjects.
Ms J Harvey Well-being Tip of the Week
Sports Relief week is fast approaching!
Each year group will have their own non-uniform day.
Please see the Sport Relief official page. There is a ton of info/clips all related to the cause. (https://www.sportrelief.com/) We must remind students that their non-uniform attire must be appropriate for school; i.e. no cropped tops, no rude/offensive images/slogans, no clothing that is revealing. Students who wear their own clothes on the wrong day will be placed in seclusion or parents asked to bring in school uniform. Ms J Harvey World Book Day
Students have been given their World Book Day Book Token, which they can exchange for a book from the £1 World Book Day titles available locally at Sainsbury's, WHSmith and Waterstones. Alternatively, they can use the book token towards a book of their choice.
Students also have a World Book Day Quiz to complete in tutor time.

Mrs J Purdy Year 7 and 8 Netball against Nene Park Academy
A new week saw a new round of netball fixtures for the year 7 and 8 girls, this time away against Nene Park Academy. Both teams put in a good game, concentrating on the attacking movements around the oppositions tall players, and aiming to break down their defence. It was clear to see that both teams had learnt from their previous matches last week, and were focusing on their strong passes, using the space on the court and shooters remaining calm and trusting their shots. All girls worked extremely hard resulting in year 7 coming home with the win, and the year 8’s just missing out on theirs.
Miss Z Marley Year 8 girls football tournament
The year 8 girls took to Nene Park yet again, this time for a football tournament against other local Peterborough schools. The girls played against Nene Park, Iqra, Kings and Stamford Welland. All girls put in serious amounts of effort, fighting against the cold weather and rain, it certainly was not easy! Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be, but everyone gave their all, worked well as a team and most importantly enjoyed themselves. Well played girls!
