Nexus 86% GCSE Grades at 9-7 (Equivalent A/A*)

A unique state funded provision for gifted students - year Home of the Gifted Programme.

A unique programme that offers students who are especially able in STEM subjects, Science, Technology and Mathematics, a chance to thrive and shine in their chosen field of study through a bespoke curriculum designed to engage and challenge gifted learners. Alongside this specially designed curriculum, students experience a rich co-curricular programme that complements the curriculum and deepens and develops the scholarship of these students. Our aim is to develop young learners who are able to pick and choose from the best courses at the very best Universities worldwide; young people who have a wealth of research experience from working with some of the best academics in their field of interest. These young people will be amongst those who devise the solutions for the most pressing problems faced by mankind, and Nexus will equip them for this bright future. We are particularly keen to encourage girls into the Gifted STEM Programme.

The overall title is awarded based on runners’ best scores across at least six races, making this a brilliant achievement that reflects her consistency, determination and talent.

An incredible season and a fantastic result – well done, Senara, on becoming the series champion!

What does a career in writing really look like?

Our Nexus students had the chance to find out this morning as we welcomed Melanie Logue for a special guest lecture.

Melanie is a copywriter, bestselling fiction author, ghostwriter and freelance non-fiction author, giving students a fascinating insight into the many different paths a career in writing can take.

From creating stories and developing characters to writing for businesses and helping other people tell their stories, Melanie’s career demonstrates just how many opportunities there are for talented writers beyond the traditional routes.

It was a brilliant opportunity for our students to hear directly from someone working professionally across different areas of the writing industry, and to find out what it takes to turn a passion for writing into a career.

A huge thank you to Melanie for joining us and sharing her experience with our students.

What happens when Shakespeare meets life inside a women’s prison? Our Year 7–9 students found out on Monday when they watched the Royal Shakespeare Company’s First Encounters: Julius Caesar at Treviglas Sports Hub.

This modern adaptation was set inside a women’s prison, where a drama group was rehearsing Shakespeare’s famous play.

Our students were completely captivated by this powerful and immersive production. Kacie summed it up perfectly: “It was so amazing, I couldn’t take my eyes off it,” while Katryna said: “The actors were so convincing and mesmerising.”

In fact, the performances were so realistic that some students genuinely believed one actor’s stage nosebleed was real!

The experience didn’t end when the curtain fell. Students had the opportunity to meet two of the actors, including the actor who played Caesar, and talk to them about the production, its adaptations and the importance of experiencing live theatre.

It was a fantastic opportunity to introduce our students to Julius Caesar and, we hope, spark their curiosity and enthusiasm when they begin studying the play next half term.

What a brilliant way to bring Shakespeare off the page and into the world!
