Our A-Level Chemistry students have been busy conducting a required practical as part of their course, focusing on oxidising ethanol to ethanoic acid. Students heated the ethanol and oxidising agent under reflux to produce the acid and then used a variety of tests to confirm the identity. This hands-on experiment allowed students to refine their practical skills, deepen their understanding of organic reactions, and build confidence working with advanced laboratory techniques. #ALevelChemistry

Festive Fun for Our Sixth Formers! This week, our Sixth Formers got into the holiday spirit with a festive Christmas lunch filled with fun, laughter and a whole lot of singing! The celebrations kicked off with an unforgettable karaoke session, led by none other than Mr. Jones, where students and staff belted out their favourite festive tunes. For our shyer Year 12s who preferred to stay offstage, a lively Christmas quiz ensured everyone was part of the festivities. It was a fun afternoon of celebration, bringing everyone together to end the term in true festive style!
