We are an inclusive and restorative all-through school in North Leeds with an intake of pupils aged 2–19. We Know Our Children Well, are Partners In Learning, we Enjoy And Achieve and have Character For Learning.
Year 10 pupils took part in a maths seminar with Dr Richard Elwes from the University of Leeds recently.
Pupils explored fascinating areas of maths, including optimisation problems, misleading data, and mechanics, and it was good to see so many contributing thoughtfully and asking great questions.
Our Year 2 pupils have been hard at work designing and creating their own structures in DT recently. Inspired by famous London skyscrapers, the children explored how to build tall, stable models and they rose to the challenge brilliantly!
A group of pupils visited Hull University to take part in a cyber security event. They took part in a range of activities, including workshops led by the army and aviation industry, as well as a Formula 1 simulator experience.
We are looking forward to our SOLD OUT Christmas Showcase tomorrow night! We're excited to see the range of performances including dancing, singing and drama. The show is from 6.30-8.00pm, with refreshments in the refectory from 6.00pm.
We welcomed DJ Niall Turner into school last week for a music workshop. He talked pupils through the equipment he uses and demonstrated how to mix tracks before giving them the chance to try it themselves. Pupils also learned about another possible career pathway in the music industry.
Year 1 recently visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park as part of their science topic, How are animals classified?
The children spent the day exploring the park and practised classifying animals by asking different questions. Seeing the polar bears and giraffes were particular highlights.
Thirty of our Year 9 pupils recently took part in the Ocean Health Challenge, designing and building brilliant prototype inventions to help tackle plastic pollution.
Their creativity and problem-solving were outstanding.
