🎮 Having a Summer Clear-Out? We Need Your Help! 🎮

As you're tidying up over the summer holidays, do you have any unwanted or unused game controllers tucked away at home?

Our Design & Technology department are looking to create a handling collection for a practical Year 9 project, and we would be incredibly grateful for any donations.

If you have any spare controllers that are no longer needed, please consider giving them a new purpose by donating them to the school.

📅 Please bring any donations into school from when we return on Thursday 3 September 2026.

Thank you for supporting our students' learning and helping us provide hands on opportunities in Design & Technology. Every donation is greatly appreciated! 💙💛

🎉 Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎉

Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate the achievements of our Year 11 students, who received their GCSE and BTEC results.

As our largest-ever Year 11 cohort, you have shown incredible hard work, resilience and determination throughout your time at The Grange. Your mature and positive approach has truly reflected the values of our school community and the very best of The Grange.

🌟 Your results have contributed to one of the strongest sets of results achieved by our school, and we could not be prouder of everything you have accomplished.

Whether you are continuing your journey with us at The Grange Sixth Form, moving on to another sixth form or college, or beginning an apprenticeship, training or employment, we wish every one of you every success and happiness for the future.

You have truly embodied our WE CAN ethos, and we are confident that you will go on to achieve great things.
