Be a Journalist Day 2026

In honour of BBC Young Reporter, a small group of Year 8 students took part in a 'Be a Journalist Day'. Mrs Ewing ran a session on research and fact-checking before students researched a topic of their choice. Students conducted interviews and wrote their own articles based upon their findings; topics ranged from AI, sportswashing, rising costs, and David Attenborough. We hope you enjoy reading some of their work.

11/11/2026During tutor time in November, students have been busy creating paper poppies in preparation for our House Captains and Prefects to create beautiful and meaningful remembrance wreaths.

11/11/2026Today, on Remembrance Day, we take time to remember the fallen. We honour their memory by placing handmade poppy wreaths and coming together for a two-minute silence, followed by reading part of the following poem by Laurence Binyon: They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #Remebrance #LestWeForget
