Following on from making fruit pies, year 9 started their dairy module by making the perfect compliment, fresh egg custard. Students steeped vanilla in milk before adding it to fresh eggs and cooking it over a Bain marie until the mixture thickened, and the correct temperature was achieved.
As part of their Mock Results our Year 11 students all had Careers Interviews.
We were joined by Burnley College, 5littleboys photography, Nelson and Colne College, Themis, HMPS, Daisy Communication, Loop Publishing, Identitydefined, Inspira Enterprise, Jamie Mcilvenny Primary Engineer, Margin Insurance and Holdens Chartered Surveyors.
Our students received great feedback during the morning and were a credit to the school.
Today our Year 11 students received their mock examination results. The day started with an assembly with Mr Allen and a countdown to the GCSE examinations that start on the 13th May 2024.
Students then entered the Dance Studio and collected their results just as they will on the 22nd August 2024. There was a mixture of happy faces and the realisation from some of the hard work that is required if they are to achieve their potential.
Each student then had a follow up Careers Interview during the morning with local business's, training providers and colleges.

Year 8 students have been learning about 'at the market' in their French lessons. In order to Today, they were given shopping lists to translate, pretend food items and euros to get used to carrying out a transaction. They were actively engaged in creating a dialogue to use when carrying out their role play. They showed great ambition in their dialogues practising tricky numbers, adding some fantastic French phrases and having great fun at the same time!

Students are busy learning key information from their knowledge organisers during form time every morning. Exposure to essential information allows our students to learn more and remember more and interrupts the forgetting curve, enabling them to be the best that they can be.
On Tuesday 12th December our Year 11 students will be having a Mock Results Day this will include a Countdown to Leaving Assembly followed by opening the results slips from the Mock Examination Weeks - just like they will in August 2024.
Each student will then have an appointment with a representative from the Colleges, apprenticeship providers and local business's. This 10 minute appointment will involve questions about their next steps and how they are going to get there.
Good luck Year 11
