A huge thank you to UCAS for hosting such a fantastic fair and to our dedicated teachers for organising this enriching experience. We can't wait to see where our students' journeys take them next.

Our Visual Arts department are pleased to announce that three of their sixth form students have been successful in art competitions this year.
Year 13 student Caitlin will see her work exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts as part of their Young Artists Summer Exhibition. We have only ever had one other student successful in reaching this prestigious show, where her work was eventually purchased by a member of the gallery staff!
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Pearl will see her work exhibited at Turner Contemporary in Margate over the summer, as part of their Portfolio Exhibition 'Force' for 2025; and Year 13 photography student Morgan, sets his work into Turner Contemporary's Force competition final.
Congratulations to all our artists on their success, we hope you are able to go along and support their work.

As part of our ongoing support for our Young Carers, a trip was organised to Wildwood Kent in Herne. We were kindly joined by Tina Culver from the Young Carer's charity Imago Community who was able to chat with our students during the visit about their caring roles. The students enjoyed being out in the fresh air for the morning taking notice of all the wildlife in the park.

Every Wednesday, Mr Beeson runs a session in our Wellbeing Garden for students who would benefit from some low level support around grounding and coping strategies.
This morning, whilst talking about how school is going, the group built their own bed, and planted some tomatoes in it, before also planting some kale and pumpkins.
Interventions like this can really benefit students and support their mental health, even if they just need a one-off session in the garden with a friendly ear.
If this is something you feel that your child might benefit from, please speak to their Student Support Manager.
