💙 A reminder for students and families 💙

There is support for you, if you need it.

Reach out. You are not alone.

As another successful year of work experience comes to an end, we’d like to say a huge thank you to all of the local, national and even overseas employers who have supported our students with placements this year.

Opening your doors and giving our students the opportunity to experience the workplace takes time and commitment, and we truly appreciate everything you’ve done. The experiences you’ve provided have helped our students build confidence, develop new skills and gain valuable insight into future careers.

Thank you for making such a positive difference. We look forward to working with you again in the new school year!

Penrice Fest 2026!

A fantastic afternoon for our Top 50 Merit earners in each year group, plus 10 special Head of Year choices.

Students were treated to pizza and ice cream, while listening to performers such as Charlie in Year 10 and Static Legato.

We ended the afternoon with a silent disco outside with Headline DJ - DJ Johnno! It truly was a brilliant afternoon to celebrate our students and reward them for their excellent demonstrations of Pride, Respect, and Success this term.

✨ Curriculum Enrichment Week ✨

Today we have been out with the camera capturing Curriculum Enrichment Week! 🎉

Our pupils have embraced a range of exciting activities, discovering new talents, and building confidence!

Congratulations to our Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Award students, who successfully completed their three-day expedition on Dartmoor this weekend, marking a memorable end to their secondary school journey.

Over the course of three days, the team trekked more than 60km, travelling from Cornwood near Ivybridge and wild camping near Sheepstor on Friday night, before continuing to a campsite near Peter Tavy on Saturday. Along the way, the six students consumed almost 80 litres of water as they tackled the challenges of the moor together.

Most importantly, they had fun, enjoyed their independence and proved what can be achieved through teamwork, perseverance and friendship.

Well done to every student involved. You were a credit to the school and your families, and it was a privilege to share the journey with you. We hope the blisters have healed and any unwelcome little companions have now been dealt with! 👏🥾🏕️
