Year 9 and 10 were in athletics competition this week.
Last night's Leadership Development team spent time evaluating and reviewing our current knowledge organisers, sharing examples from differing faculty areas and making amendments in light of feedback and use before the new school year ahead. The energy and enthusiasm throughout the meeting was super and the insight gained from sharing best practice and reviewing will pay off for our students.

We are loving the summer term sunshine here @Park and it gives us a chance to show off the fabulously smart PE kit!
An excellent start to the Pendle Schools Rounders Tournaments
It has been a successful few weeks for Lottie Hesketh.
Understanding bread is a skill we start in year 7 and get pupils to build on over time. From pizza toasties in year 7; to pizzas in year 8; to calzones in year 9; to shaped breads in year 10. Here students have been improving the nutritional content of their bread by using wholemeal flour and seeds. Students adapt a basic recipe and develop skills not only needed for their practical exam but also life after school.
With 25% of their practical cooking exam next year dedicated to presentation and portion control, year 10 have been getting creative with sauces and working on their plating skills. They also practised making perfect quenelle shapes for creams and made use of the light box and turntable for photographing their work.
Year 9 pupil have been busy learning the technique of lamination by making puff pastry. They then turned their pastry into either cheese straws or sausage rolls, perfect for any picnics over the summer term.
A beautiful evening for a fantastic Tag Rugby Tournament
