A taste of Sixth Form life! ✨
Year 10 students spent the day in the Benedict Building, enjoying inspiring lessons, time in the Café and Common Room, a picnic lunch, and a Dragons’ Den challenge.
Thank you to our guest Dragons, Mr Chamberlain and Mr Nevard, and to our amazing Sixth Form students and staff for making the day such a success.
