14/10/2025Book of the Week: New Kid by Jerry Craft Celebrating Black History Month & Banned Books Week
This week, we're spotlighting New Kid by Jerry Craft—a powerful, funny, and deeply relatable graphic novel that’s made history and sparked important conversations.
Banned Books Week Despite its acclaim, New Kid has faced challenges and bans in some US school districts. Why? Because it dares to talk honestly about race and bias. During Banned Books Week, we highlight stories like this—books that spark dialogue, and empower young readers to think critically.
Black History Month Spotlight Jerry Craft’s work is a celebration of Black creativity and resilience. His storytelling invites readers to walk in someone else’s shoes, to laugh, reflect, and grow.

13/10/2025Last week, our lucky Year 10 Physics students enjoyed an unforgettable visit from @mclaren. Huge thanks to the team for sharing all about their Technician Apprenticeships and the other routes available to them for getting into Formula 1.
From trying on the iconic racing suit to exploring real racing car parts, it was hard to tell whether Mr Cook, Mrs Ralph or the students enjoyed it the most! 🧡

8/10/2025As part of our commitment to support Year 11 to achieve success in their GCSE exams, we will be providing a weekly hack using the 'From the Sidelines' programme.
This week looks at how important a dedicated study space is to enable brains to get into a working mindset.
📚 Provide a quiet space without distractions
📖 Don't study on a bed as this space is normally associated with relaxing
📝 Find a flat surface where you can spread out resources
📓 Use a well lit location to prevent mental fatigue
You've got this!

7/10/2025Open Evening 2025 went with a bang!
We were thrilled to welcome so many visitors and showcase everything that makes our school special. A huge thank you to so many of our incredible students who volunteered their time and energy - they truly embodied our school motto, 'Proud to Belong'. We certainly couldn't be prouder!
6/10/2025We would love to know what our former students have been doing since leaving Woolmer Hill...
We also want to be able to show current students the variety of pathways available to them after leaving school, and alumni insight is invaluable!
Working with social mobility charity @futurefirstorg, we have launched an alumni network that needs your help!
