A huge congratulations to our Year 7 football team who won the League title and a place in the District Cup Final following their most recent win.
Well done to all the students have represented the team so far this season and good luck to them in the final.
In support of National Apprenticeship week, last week subject teachers shared video clips in lessons as part of our promotion of apprenticeships being an option post 16 and post 18.
The clips showed information and real life apprenticeship stories linked to subject areas.
In addition to apprenticeship information we cover as part of their careers curriculum this was a real opportunity for students to learn more about apprenticeships as a future pathway option.
Year 12 and Year 13 students in Tutor Time students explored what was available through discussion and online material. Some attended the Ricoh Arena event last week in order to explore myriad opportunities available to them in various industry sectors. On their return they reported how positive the experience was.

The Computer Science Department is launching its next CISCO Networking Academy course … Introduction to Packet Tracer.
Deepen your understanding of how a network works, and step into the virtual lab to build your own! With Cisco Packet Tracer, you can watch how data travels across your network using Simulation Mode, or practice setting up your own device rack and cables in Physical Mode. Once you are ready, expand your simulations to analyze network traffic, add Internet of Things (IoT) devices, integrate Python code, or practice network automation skills.
New to networking? No problem. Cisco Packet Tracer enables a suite of tutored activities that give you hints along the way, if you want them.

Students were invited to wear their Christmas Jumpers on Friday 15th December and it was fantastic to see so many students joining in and raising money for Save the Children Charity. We are delighted to have raised over £800 for the charity.
During December our tutor groups have been filling hampers with Christmas items and then, as a group, have decided who they would like to receive the hamper.
