Thank you to everyone who attended our Plume College Open Evening.

Our Sixth Form is celebrating another year of outstanding results.

Those attending last night may have found themselves on the scene of a whodunnit, courtesy of our A Level Drama students. Did you solve the mystery?

We look forward to receiving your applications to Plume College in due course, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We have recently updated our Personal Development curriculum, with a renewed focus on the development of speaking and listening skills.

We are also committed to sharing our work in this area with parents and carers. Please find below (in two sections) the first edition of the Plume Personal Development newsletter.

Official Opening - The Dignasse Science Centre

This afternoon saw the ribbon-cutting of The Dignasse Science Centre, our new three-storey suite of science laboratories.

Needless to say, centre stage was Sarah Dignasse herself, who joined us alongside many current and former colleagues of the academy.

Students will commence lessons in the centre over the coming weeks; we look forward to showing them around and hope that they draw inspiration from Miss Dignasse, who continues to be part of the fabric of the academy and the town.

More photos and reports to follow!
