🌟 Queensbury School & New Horizons – Chinese New Year Celebration. 🌟
Thursday 26th February
Last week, Queensbury School and New Horizons enjoyed a vibrant and joyful Chinese New Year celebration, and what an incredible day it was! 🎉🐉
Students across all key stages had the exciting opportunity to take part in a traditional Chinese dragon dance workshop. The energy was electric as selected classes learned the rhythms, movements, and teamwork that bring the dragon to life. It was a fantastic hands‑on experience that students will remember for a long time!

Good morning all. A reminder that our sister school, Wilson Stuart, on Perry Common Road, Erdington, have their careers/future options and SEND event tomorrow, Friday 5th March from 10.30am until 12.30pm, drop in anytime. There will be colleges, sixth forms, training providers but also suppliers of SEND specific services and products. Well worth a visit!

Last week, our students successfully completed a boxing intervention where they developed new skills, built confidence, and strengthened their resilience. A huge thank you to Martin and Brad for their fantastic support and guidance.

Students in classes 6.5 and 6.6 took part in a fantastic Greek theatre workshop led by Francesca from the Hippodrome. During the session, pupils were introduced to the history of Ancient Greek theatre and explored how performers used movement and posture to convey emotion on stage. This project will be further developed by Alex from the Hippodrome, who has been delivering fantastic weekly workshops to classes at New Horizons. As part of this extended programme, students in selected classes will be offered the exciting opportunity to perform on stage at the Patrick Studio, showcasing the skills and techniques they have been learning.

“Our 7V students have been busy completing their Animal Care module as part of our Venture Curriculum. They showed fantastic engagement and enthusiasm while learning how to look after a range of animals responsibly. We are very proud of their hard work and growing confidence!”
