Students from X24 working really hard both in and out of school in Art

By Miss Jones4th November 2019

A number of students from X24 have been working extremely hard both in lesson and also in the completion of their extended study. They have completed these tasks to a high standard and also made sure that they have been handed in on time.

The students that I would like to give a special mention to are Alfie Lockey (X24 Admiral), Bella Herring (X24 Skipper) and Amber Clark (X24 Skipper) who have all finished the two studies (paper cut and sharpie block design) in class and also their extended study (Artist research).

All three of these students are now well on the way to creating a lovely charcoal study for their developing and exciting art portfolio.

Well done Alfie, Amber and Bella! Keep up the good work!

X24/Year 9 Skipper working those Spanish verbs!

By David Pearson23rd September 2019

Last week our X24/ Year 9 Skipper students used online language learning software to practise conjugating Spanish verbs in the present tense. Having received feedback on their grammatical accuracy they then applied this knowledge to the completion of GCSE standard photocard tasks on our current media expedition. Needless to say that I was delighted by their focus and high levels of productivity throughout. Well done Skipper!

What a great start to the new half term! X23 Skipper started the morning working hard to complete their ink studies. Stippling has needed some dedication and it is paying off: as you can see below. Deadline for this piece of work is: Monday 10th June (students will be able to take their folder home – if need be).

X23 Bioshock Fieldwork

By Andrea Goddard27th April 2019

For the next five weeks, both Skipper and Admiral will be going on Fieldwork. This will not effect start or finish times for the day, neither will students require a packed lunch. Students need to be aware of the dates so that they can come to school prepared for being in the outdoors (i.e. clothed appropriate for the weather, sensible shoes and have a bottle for water etc…)

The dates are as follows:

Skipper

Tuesday 7th May

Monday 13th May
