✨ Curriculum in Action! ✨

We loved catching up with our Year 7 pupils during their Design & Technology lessons recently!

As part of our broad, balanced and challenging curriculum, pupils have been getting hands-on in Food & Cookery and Design Technology, developing new skills, exploring their creativity and bringing their ideas to life through exciting practical learning experiences. 🍴🔨🌟

It's fantastic to see our pupils so engaged, building confidence and enjoying our specialist facilities and lessons.
