Our Year 10 children have been exploring chemistry in action, mixing acids and alkalis to create a neutral solution 🧪
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 ‘resilience’ jars 💙
Using their ‘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.

Our Year 12 students have taken an important step in planning their next journey as they attended the first part of their Futures presentation, focusing on UCAS 🎓
Members of the sixth form team shared their own university experiences, offering honest insights into what they enjoyed most and what they wish they had known before starting. Students explored the differences between campus and city universities, as well as the importance of building friendships and getting involved in clubs and societies to make the most of university life.
These valuable discussions have also been linked to the upcoming mock exams, helping students understand how these will inform their predicted grades and future applications.
We are looking forward to welcoming parents and carers to our information evening on Wednesday 11 June, from 6 to 7 pm in the school hall.
Please confirm your attendance with Sue Crosley via sue.crosley@mar.mmat.co.uk.
