Outdoor Learning
Students have had hands on experience and learnt about different species and the behaviours they exhibit.
They have also worked hard to make sure the classroom is a lovely place that we all want to look after and learn in.
Year 10 BTEC Animal Care went to Manor Farm and compared this country park to Staunton. They also got to walk back in time and see what farming, school and living was like in the Victorian times.
Year 9 students took part in a Labour Market information and Future Jobs workshop. They gained an understanding of how everyone is different with different skills, personalities and careers needs, an understanding of what information may be important when considering careers and where to find the information and how to have a clearer understanding of LMI and how to use knowledge to explore future career option.

Latest News from our Catering Department!
Year 9 have been practicing their knife skills producing some very professional cuts from fine Julienne (matchsticks) through to large Batons, Brunoise (fine diced) to large diced, then onto some more unusual cuts for their final stage, covering lozenge, oblique and tourne shapes. They did an amazing job!
Meanwhile, the Year 8s have been making 'Healthy Pot Noodles' and they went down a treat! Using their knife skills, they chopped up carrot, spring onion and pepper and added it to some dry noodles, before adding in some boiling stock with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and seasonings. Some even chose to give it a bit of a kick adding in some chilli flakes!
