What an incredibly special, and emotional, day! 🥹 Today we held our Year 11 Leavers' Assembly and traditional shirt signing. 🖊️✨ It was truly moving to see all our students and staff reflecting on their journey with us, sharing laughs, and looking back at how much everyone has grown.
We couldn't be prouder of everything the Class of 2026 has achieved—you've been an absolutely amazing cohort, and you leave behind a wonderful legacy! 🌟
Our hearts were also with Charley today, who will always be remembered as an irreplaceable part of this year group. 🕊️🤍
To all our Year 11s: We wish you the very best of luck as you take your next steps into the future. 🙌 Stay safe, and we can't wait to see you all dressed up and ready to celebrate at prom! 💃🕺✨ After that, it's just results day to go. 🤞

🎓 An amazing day of learning for our Year 10s! 🏛️✨
Yesterday, a group of our fantastic Year 10 students spent the day at Keele University for an inspiring History and Politics masterclass! 🎒🦁
The morning kicked off with a brilliant campus tour, giving everyone a real taste of university life. 🏫🚶♂️ Afterwards, the hard work began as students dived into their first academic session, exploring the history of concentration camps during Nazi Germany. 📜🕵️♂️
This experience linked perfectly with our Creative & Culture Gateway, as our students delved into the history and political landscapes that shape our world. 🌟🌍
We were so proud of how maturely they engaged with such important and challenging topics. Keep up the brilliant work, team! 👏💯

Huge shoutout to our amazing Student Librarians! 📚✨
Yesterday, they enjoyed a well-deserved Reward Trip as a massive thank you for all their hard work in making our library such a cosy, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone.
Even better, the trip was part-funded by the money they raised themselves at last year’s Summer Fayre! 🍰🎟️
The team were treated to a brilliant day out at the Emma Bridgewater Pottery, where they got creative painting some gorgeous pottery pieces and caught up over a lovely lunch in the café. 🎨☕
As always, they were fantastic ambassadors for Discovery. It was lovely to see them enjoy a relaxing day out!
