  • Year 10 Seville Trip 2025: A Journey to Remember (March 5th-8th)

    Published 17/03/25

    Earlier this month, a group of our Y10 students embarked on an unforgettable journey to Seville, Spain, for a cultural and linguistic immersion experience. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for an adventure.

    Our itinerary was packed with incredible experiences. We explored the breathtaking Plaza de España, where students marvelled at the intricate tilework and even reenacted scenes from famous films shot there. The Alcázar was another highlight, transporting us back in time with its stunning Moorish architecture and lush gardens. We also had the chance to visit the iconic bullring, La Maestranza, where we learned about Spain's deep-rooted bullfighting traditions.

    One of the most exciting parts of the trip was experiencing an authentic flamenco dance performance. The passion and energy of the dancers left us in awe, and some of our students even tried a few moves themselves! Another unforgettable day was our visit to Córdoba, where we explored the breathtaking Mezquita-Catedral and strolled through the charming Jewish Quarter, soaking in the city's rich history and culture.

    Beyond the sightseeing, students had the chance to practice their Spanish in real-life situations, ordering tapas, navigating the city, and engaging with locals. Some even discovered a new love for churros con chocolate! A particularly memorable moment was when a few brave students joined a spontaneous flamenco performance, impressing even the locals with their enthusiasm.

    This trip was more than just an educational experience—it was a chance to bond, step out of our comfort zones, and embrace the beauty of Spanish culture. Many students returned with a newfound confidence in their language skills and unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

    A huge thanks to everyone who helped making this trip possible. We can’t wait for the next adventure!

  • KEW GARDENS Year 11 GCSE ART

    Published 10/03/25

    As part of their preparation for this year’s GCSE Art exam, which explores the theme of "Gathering," Year 11 students visited Kew Gardens on Friday, 7th February. The trip provided a valuable opportunity to investigate how nature, science, and art intersect through the act of collecting, preserving, and documenting botanical life.

    Renowned for its global contributions to plant conservation, Kew Gardens showcases the importance of gathering and safeguarding biodiversity. Students explored the Millennium Seed Bank, which protects plant species from extinction by collecting and storing seeds from around the world. They also engaged with Kew’s vast living plant collections, herbariums, and archives, witnessing firsthand how species are gathered, classified, and preserved for future generations.

    In addition, the visit encouraged students to reflect on the broader meanings of "gathering"—from the physical collection of plants to environmental conservation and the interconnectedness of ecosystems. This immersive experience provided inspiration for their creative projects, helping them develop new artistic perspectives for their GCSE exam work.

  • Art Exhibition 2024

    Published 17/05/24

    At this year’s annual GCSE and A Level Exhibition, we welcomed parents, students and the wider school community for a night of music and art. The theme this year was "Urban Visions", aiming to capture the cultural diversity of our student body. Each piece serves as a testament to the boundless imagination and skill nurtured within our school community.​

    As you step into the gallery, you are immediately greeted by a monumental sculptural piece that explores identity and feminism. Another standout piece is a stunning mixed-media installation that captures the dynamic interplay of race and what it means to be a black female. The exhibition incorporates digital art, multimedia installations, and other media, showcasing the students' adaptability and proficiency with modern technologies, adding to the emotional depth and technical sophistication on display.​

    We were delighted to have our primary students across the Federation visit the Art exhibition in secondary. This enriching experience not only fostered a deeper appreciation for the Arts but sparked inspiration and excitement for their own creative journeys as the young learners envision their own potential as future artists.​

    Congratulations to our young artists for their remarkable contributions, and a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated art staff and Ms Anderson the Art Lead, who made the event possible. This year's exhibition is a resounding success, promising a bright future for the Arts in our school.​
