  • Celebrating Our Duke of Edinburgh Achievements

    Published 02/12/25

    We were delighted to celebrate all the students who completed their Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards at our awards evenings in November. These events have now become a fundamental part of our school calendar, giving us the chance to recognise the outstanding achievements of our young people over the last year and present their certificates and badges.

    The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, at any level, is not easy. It takes effort, determination, and the resilience to overcome obstacles. The Award epitomises our CORE values: Commitment, Opportunity, Respect and Excellence. To have so many students completing their awards this year is truly fantastic. We also recognised and thanked the NLS staff who have supported with training, route-planning and the many weekends they dedicated to the expeditions.

  • Race for Life Friday 26 September

    Published 23/09/25

    On Friday 26 September 2025, the whole school came together to take part in our annual Race for Life charity event in support of Cancer Research. In the lead-up to the day, tutor time sessions helped students learn more about cancer, its treatments, and the importance of fundraising in the fight against it.

    The event itself was a brilliant showcase of community spirit. Students from Years 7–13 walked or ran laps around the school fields, aiming to complete as many circuits as possible within the hour. Everyone joined in the spirit of the occasion by wearing pink—whether it was socks, headbands, tutus or even face paint—creating a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere. Staff lined the course to cheer students on, with many also running alongside them.

    Donations were collected both through sponsorships and individual contributions, with some students managing to complete more than five laps.

    The enthusiasm, energy and determination on display were inspiring, and it was fantastic to see the whole school working together towards such an important cause.

    We are delighted to announce that, thanks to the generosity of our students, staff and wider community, we raised an incredible £2647 for Cancer Research.

    A huge thank you to everyone who took part and supported this event—you truly made a difference!
