Our Year 10 children have been exploring chemistry in action, mixing acids and alkalis to create a neutral solution πŸ§ͺ

Through this practical investigation, they’ve developed their understanding of key scientific concepts such as the pH scale, chemical reactions and how substances can be changed through neutralisation.

Hands-on learning like this helps build critical thinking, problem-solving skills and confidence in applying knowledge to real-life situations, as well as reinforcing safe laboratory techniques and accurate observation skills.

A fantastic example of science coming to life in the classroom and inspiring curiosity about the world around us ✨

Our Year 8 children have been getting creative and reflective in their Social Skills intervention, transforming recycled glass jars into their own β€˜resilience’ jars πŸ’™

Using their β€˜happy’ colours, each child designed and decorated a personalised jar before filling it with positive thoughts, kind words from their peers, and affirmations about themselves. A simple but powerful reminder of their strengths and the support around them.

Their homework? To dip into their jar whenever they need a boost and be reminded just how valued they are ✨

A wonderful activity supporting wellbeing, kindness and self-belief across our school community.
