A huge thank you to everyone who joined our special Forest School session today! It was wonderful to welcome new parents to our school community, as you explore primary school options for next September. The children had a fantastic time enjoying autumn-themed activities and discovering the magic of our beautiful Forest School area. Outdoor learning is an important part of our curriculum, with weekly Forest School sessions for all primary year groups, giving children the chance to explore, discover, and learn beyond the classroom. Due to unprecedented interest in our Foundation Stage Open Events, we're delighted to announce an additional daytime tour date on Tuesday 18th November.

What a fantastic evening! Yesterday, our Sixth Form Head Students hosted a wonderful movie night where students across all year groups were able to bring some snacks and enjoy one of the three chosen films in school. Head Student Makayla shared: "It was such a great evening and we're so glad that our first planned event went well! We loved seeing so many students come together to enjoy the films." Head Student Pierre added: "A fantastic opportunity to bring the students together and build our community! Thank you to everyone that attended." A huge well done to our Head Students for organising such a successful event, and thank you to all who joined us. We hope you enjoyed a fun after-school film!

To celebrate the European Day of Languages last Friday, we held our annual European Bake Off Competition – inviting all secondary students to get baking in support of the wonderful cause, Macmillan Cancer Support. Students showcased their creativity and talent, certainly giving Paul Hollywood a run for his money! A huge thank you to everyone who baked, bought, and helped set up and run the cake stall at break and lunch – together we raised over £95 in support of the amazing work of Macmillan Cancer Support We are delighted to share the winners of the competition - 1st place – Lily-May (Year 7) with her spectacular colourful cake topped with chocolate shards 2nd place – Kadija (Year 11) with her delicious raspberry and vanilla cake 3rd place – Jess (Year 7) with her brilliant Italian apple illusion cake (spaghetti bolognese style!) Well done to our winners, and thank you again to our school community for making this event such a success.

Last Thursday, 15 of our Sixth Form students, along with Mr Mason-Holt and Mrs Atkins, attended the premiere of Frantic Assembly's brand-new play Lost Atoms. A moving story exploring love, relationships, and the fragility of memory, the production left a real impression on everyone. Our students represented the school brilliantly – we couldn't be prouder!

They've done it! This morning, Mrs Cairns and Mr O'Boyle bravely abseiled down the Northampton Lift Tower in support of The McCarthy Dixon Foundation A huge well done to both of them – what an achievement! Every donation truly makes a difference, with every penny raised going directly towards helping people who need it most. If you'd like to show your support and help them reach their fundraising goals, you can donate via their JustGiving pages below: Mrs Cairns https://www.justgiving.com/page/nickycairns Mr O'Boyle https://www.justgiving.com/page/kavan-oboyle-1 Thank you so much for backing this incredible cause!

Open Mic Magic! Last week we held our first-ever Secondary open mic lunch and our talented students performed brilliantly... Principal, Mr. Bishop even jumped in with some surprise vocals! Students from across the secondary years brought the talent, the energy, and the good vibes, treating us to everything from soulful solos to foot-tapping tunes. We look forward to next time. A massive well done to all the students who stepped on stage.
