After school today, the Year 10 pupils taking part in the Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award attended their second training session. During the session the 3 groups had to put up and take down their tents, assemble, light and cook using the Trangia and demonstrate that they have all the equipment they require for the expedition in two weeks time.
Now all they need to do is complete their route cards and maps and they’re ready to go!!

Mr Roberts, Miss Brady and 20 Yr.8 pupils enjoyed a trip to RAF Coningsby yesterday on a STEM visit.
All pupils represented the school excellently and produced some unique and innovative rocket designs, which we flew, tweaked and flew again.

Congratulations go to Edward Worthington 8S, who’s rocket flew the furthest.

After lunch we walked round to the hangers and had a tour round one of the Eurofighter Typhoons in for some maintenance. This included looking at the cockpit and a talk on how the jets go supersonic.
As we finished the tour, there was a roar of engines outside and we were taken out to watch one of the Typhoons go through their displays they put on at air shows.
Unfortunately, we were unable to take photos inside of the hanger of the Typhoons for national security reasons.
