Journalism Club have collaborated with our Wordsmiths to showcase their brilliant achievement of becoming published authors in the Young Writers Competition! Journalists have also done an amazing job in interviewing them and encouraging them to read aloud poetry to an audience - no easy feat! Miss O'Gorman and Mrs Passerini are super proud of them all! Well done! Watch the videos below!

Safer Internet Day – Tuesday February 10th 2026
Safer Internet Day 2026 will take place on the 10th of February 2026, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI’. AI is on the tip of everyone’s tongues at the moment, as teachers talk about it being helpful in the classroom, young people are using it online, and celebrities too. Safer Internet Day is important to recognise that all young people should have the skills and confidence to make the right choices when they are using smart technology.
The Good – Why can AI be a useful tool?
It can be beneficial for us because it can help to provide you with sports advice, training plans, and help you with a revision timetable. For example, if you’re in Year 11 and looking to put together a revision timetable, AI can help if you tell it how much time you are willing to dedicate per week and what subjects you want to prioritise. It can even suggest different ways to revise. It also provides the following:
• Helps with homework
• Allows you to connect with friends.
• Entertainment
• Generate playlist for your music taste.
• Creates stories to share with friends.
The Bad – Why can AI be harmful?
Despite the Good things, AI can have a negative impact on young people. Remember, if you do see anything hurtful, please report it to a member of staff/ Safeguarding Lead. Be mindful of the following when using AI:
· Giving false information / misinformation
· AI generated photos / facts.
· Can weaken creativity and critical thinking

Today, Miss Barker took 10 Year 8 students to Colne fire station as part of Year 8 Workplace Wednesday. This was a fantastic trip, and all of the students who attended were highly engaged, asked thoughtful questions and learned about the wide range of job roles within the fire service.
Students had the opportunity to try on the uniform, explore the equipment inside the fire truck. Mark the fireman spoke about the different training requirements for the role as well as the numerous opportunities available. They also learned how important physical fitness is when working within the uniformed services. Thank you to Mark for the enjoyable tour, we look forward to attending again soon!
