On Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th April the Cadets had their "First Knight" trip to Yardley Chase which was an unforgettable adventure filled with teamwork, challenge, and plenty of excitement. From building bashas in bluebell woodland and camouflage exercises to night activities, field cooking, navigation, and paintball, our cadets showed outstanding resilience and spirit. Huge thanks to our senior cadets and dedicated staff for making it such a memorable experience. Read the full report by Lt.

A special thank you to Dale from @mygreatfirstjob who led a very insightful workshop today for our Year 12 students. The session focused on practical strategies for securing a work experience placement, including how to approach employers, build confidence, and stand out in applications. The students will now put these strategies into practice ahead of their work experience week at the end of June.

Student Spotlight Our Year 5 students set off for the nature trail on Earth Day, with a simple challenge: pick up just one piece of litter each along the way. While most of the children kept to the challenge, Alfie quietly went the extra mile. Taking the black bin bag, he took it upon himself to keep litter picking. Alfie showed us exactly what caring for your environment looks like and going above and beyond when no one expects it. A fantastic example of kindness, leadership, and environmental responsibility. Well done, Alfie!
