Some of our Park STEM Ambassadors (mix of year 8 and 9s) got the chance to take part in a Biology session run by one of the A-Level tutors in which they extracted their own DNA from their cheek cells. They also got goodie bags including details of upcoming open evenings and the courses available - one pupil has now already chosen his A-Levels in science!

GCSE year 10 pupils enjoyed a watercolour workshop by local artist Charlotte Flannagan
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our wonderful SEND team looking unrecognisable and fabulous!
Year 8 had a day focusing on careers. With external talks from Nelson & Colne College to team building exercises like this one. Groups were challenged with making a chair out of balloons, string and cellotape. Within a set time, each member was given a roll to perform and one was selected as the test 'victim'.
A massive well done to Year 9, who have taken part in a practice walk to prepare them for their final D of E Bronze award expedition which will take place later this academic year. Year 9 demonstrated Respect as they took the challenging route and everyone persevered to make it to the end. Well done Year 9! Thank you to all the staff who actively took part today and an even bigger thank you to Mr Spencer and Mr Jackson for all of their organisation in the weeks leading up to today.
PD Day Success!
Sian Heafield recognised for her relentless drive to maintain high standards whilst ensuring a child centred vision. Part of the nomination included the following "She absolutely “walks the walk” and models our values and behaviours daily. Sian has a real talent for supporting our students to meet school expectations with reasonable adjustments without deviating from the high behaviour expectations of the school.” Well done Sian!

Music Samba workshops.
Well done to all our hardworking Year 11 students who have just finished their final mock examinations. We are so proud of our students and how they have approached the two weeks of assessment. Students will receive valuable feedback in the next couple of weeks as they prepare for the full GCSE examinations that begin Thursday 9th May.
Mock examination results will be reported home to parents in the Spring Tracker reports at the end of this term
