Whole School Sports Day - Participation for all!


Sports Day will take place on Monday 11th July - details below
Today we celebrated the official opening of our new SEND garden space, The Sanctuary.
Today our year 10 ASDAN students went to Carers Link in Accrington to learn about what they do and how they help carers within their community.
The maths department have been working closely with year 6 teachers to provide a sequence of lessons on the use of a calculator. All year 6’s in our trust have been gifted a scientific calculator and shown the basic functions to enable a smoother transition in the subject. #collaboration @BlackoPrimary @LordStPrimary @SchoolLaneshaw
The dance club explore cheerleading stunts and skills!
Staff have been busy up-skilling their first aid to be able to deal with first aid situations in an outdoor setting.
"Think, Pair, Share"
Year 10 Biologists focused on group work to create a bubble of security when tackling challenging GCSE questions; a safe space where they could think for a while, say whatever they liked and get it wrong! Lesson group work enabled the students to admit if they didn’t understand and then collaborate, gain confidence and learn together. It is easier to say ‘we don’t get it’ rather than ‘I don’t get it’! Every single student engaged in writing with confidence and generating answers simultaneously #Collaboration #TeamWork #ThinkPairShare #GCSE #Oracy #AQA

Year 10 experienced a Mock Results Day today.
This involved an inspirational assembly from Mr Allen before they received their results in the Drama Studio. The event simulated the experience the cohort will have in August 2023 as students opened their results and shared with friends and teachers.
Each student then had a 10 minute interview about their futures from local Employers/Colleges/Agencies. A fantastic day for all involved!!
