Before half term, GCSE Photography students visited London to attend both The National Portrait Gallery and The Photographers' Gallery. The Taylor Wessing exhibition, running at The National Portrait Gallery, displayed compelling narratives, technically well-accomplished images and a reassuringly diverse range of photographers and models.
Last week our Year 8 girls played a match at home in the U13 County Cup against Budmouth Academy, Weymouth.
This week our Year 7 rugby team participated in the county 7-a-side rugby tournament held by the Rugby Football Union at Swanage and Wareham RFC.
It was a pleasure to welcome Mark Alderman, Chef and Lecturer from Bournemouth & Poole College, to Food Preparation and Nutrition this week. Mark demoed Risotto and Tuille biscuits to our Year 10's, who really enjoyed all his tips on portion control, presentation and flavouring.
Last week Year 10 got creative with pasta! They made fresh egg pasta and pasta using lots of puréed vegetables in different colours to make a range of patterned lasagne sheets and other shapes, of course!
Last week, as part of our Year 10 GCSE Citizenship course, students had a visit from Tom Hayes, Labour MP for Bournemouth East. He talked so openly and honestly to the class.
Drama-based training specialists, ENACT Theatre Company, were in school today to perform their ‘Choose Options’ education show to our Year 8 students.
We are very excited to announce that the secondary library now has a brand new fiction area in addition to our existing section, doubling the space for the fantastic new books available to borrow!
