Year 7 Presentation of Learning

By Mr M Said22nd September 2016

The Year 7 presentation of learning for their current learning expedition will take place on the evening of Monday 12th December. We will have more details on exact timings in due course.

It is really important that every student attends, and has someone from their family come to the event to celebrate the incredible work that they are doing.

Year 7 Fieldwork Week beginning Tuesday 3rd May.

By Mr M Voltaire29th April 2016

Students in Year 7 will be going out on fieldwork next week as part of immersion into their new expedition.

All students will be outdoors for extended periods so will need the following:

  • Waterproofs
  • Warm clothing
  • Hat/gloves
  • Wellington boots/walking boots

We ask that students do not arrive in jeans for fieldwork as they are not appropriate for outdoor work, but may bring a change of clothes for when they return to school.

Classes will be going out on the following days:

Tuesday 3rd May: Skipper out (kit needed)

Wednesday 4th May: Both Admiral and Skipper out (kit needed)

Sessions will take place within the normal school day and so packed lunches will not be needed.

Fieldwork will be a regular aspect of this expedition so students will definitely need outdoor clothing and walking boots moving forward.

If there are any questions, please get in touch with either Mr Voltaire, Miss Thornton or Mr Shakesby.
