Today, we were delighted to welcome over 16 local employers, apprenticeship providers and further education institutions to our Year 9 and Year 11 Careers Fair.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to ask questions, discover new pathways and get advice as they begin thinking about their next steps.

With important decisions on the horizon for both year groups, these conversations can make a real difference in helping our young people feel informed and confident about their future.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported our students!

It’s National Poetry Day, and this year’s theme is WONDER! ✨

Think about the things that amaze you, spark your imagination or make you see the world a little differently. It could be something in nature, a mystery you’ve always wanted to solve, or something completely out of this world!

Now it’s your turn to turn those ideas into poetry.

Collect an entry form from your English teacher, write your poem on the theme of Wonder and hand it in before the end of your lesson.

There are prizes to be won, a Book of Excellence nomination up for grabs and the chance to have your poem published in our school newsletter and on social media.

We can’t wait to see what you come up with! 📜

Last week our Year 7 students had a brilliant day out at Linnet Clough Scout Camp & Activity Centre as they continue to settle into life at The Radclyffe School.

They spent the day getting stuck into a range of activities, from the climbing wall and football darts to exploring the centre and taking on new challenges.

It was a great chance for students to spend time with their friends, get to know their PLGs and staff a little better, and have plenty of fun along the way. A brilliant day of trying new things, working together and making memories! 💚

📢 School bus service diversion

Please be aware that, due to roadworks at the junction of Turf Lane and Long Lane, the school bus service is currently operating on a diversion.

The service will:

➡️ Continue along Broadway
➡️ Turn right onto Whitegate Lane
➡️ Continue via Thompson Lane and Butler Green
➡️ Rejoin the normal route at the Washbrook

At present, we have not been given a confirmed end date for the roadworks, so unfortunately we are unable to say how long the diversion will remain in place.

Journeys may take a little longer, so please allow some extra time.

If you have any questions, please contact the Bee Network on 0161 244 1000 or email [email protected].

Last week, our Year 7 students completed their CAT4 assessments, helping us build a better understanding of how they think, learn and approach new challenges.

Unlike traditional tests that focus on subject knowledge, CAT4 explores different areas of cognitive ability. The results will help our teachers tailor learning to each student's individual strengths and needs, providing the right level of challenge and support to help them thrive.

Well done to all our Year 7s for their hard work, focus and effort!
