As Monday 19th September has been confirmed as a Bank Holiday for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral, please be aware that there will be no Academic Support on this day.

This will allow individuals, businesses and other organisations to pay their respects to Her Majesty and commemorate her reign, if they so wish, while marking the final day of the period of national mourning.

We will be back in centre to resume normal service and run Academic Support again on Tuesday 20th September.

We had an excellent first Primary FOCUS week of the year learning about Environmental Science with Valley Primary Academy.

We were joined by the Hawk and Owl Trust for a brilliant workshop which featured leaf identification and conservation. We also visited How Hill Trust on Wednesday to learn more about habitats. Many thanks to our fantastic and knowledgeable guides - we had a brilliant time!

A huge well done to Year 6 Valley Primary Academy students for all of their hard work this week!

Some useful information for parents /carers to help manage online safety

Discord is a free app which allows users to communicate in real time via text, video or voice chat. Available on desktop and mobile devices, it was originally designed to help gamers cooperate – but has evolved into a more general networking platform for a range of online communities, discussing topics like TV series, music, Web3 and more. Discord is organised around closed groups, referred to as ‘servers’. To join a server, users must be invited or provided with a unique link. It’s a space for users to interact with friends, meet others with shared interests and collaborate in private online — but it’s also a place where young people can be exposed to risks if the right precautions aren’t taken.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as cyberbullying, predators and inappropriate content.

We had a fantastic time working with Norwich Primary Academy Year 5 classes Kingfisher and Weasel this week!

The theme of the week was STEM and students took part in lots of different activities exploring Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths as well as exploring what it is like to live as a university student.
