Year 7 French trip

Our students arrived home from a wondeful week long trip to Paris on the 23rd July. The trip was a resounding success and a brilliant time was had by all. The students visited the Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, a waterpark, the Eiffel Tower and Parc Asterix (where Mr Young learnt the merits of learning some key French phrases). The students also enjoyed a Bateaux Mouches river cruise, a disco at the holiday village and generally had a really fab time. The trip organiser Miss Suzanne Hunstone said that the students were absolutely fantastic and soaked up the sights and sounds of Paris while remaining good humoured, fun and polite throughout.

Year 10 Summer holiday homework

All year 10 students get set Mathematics homework for the summer leading into their year 11 year.  This homework is designed to help students keep their Mathematics skills ticking over in the eight weeks between year 10 and year 11 classes.  Students who do not complete this homework find themselves at a disadvantage in year 11.  There are 8 homework tasks each of which should take around 20 minutes.  Students need to hand their homework in first lesson back in September.  All students have received a paper copy of the homework but should they lose it there are copies on class server under mathematics resources.
