Thomas also competed at Wimbledon, where he won three matches and reached the quarter-finals. An outstanding achievement and a memorable experience. We look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next! 🎾 Well done Thomas!

🦦 Over the summer, our new Year 7 students were challenged to complete a virtual Osmond Otter Hunt, exploring the school and collecting letters to solve the mystery phrase: “Welcome to Castle.”

We were delighted by the number of students who took part and sent in their answers. Thank you to everyone who joined in. We hope the activity helped you become familiar with the school site before September and provided some reassurance as you prepared to begin your journey with us.

A huge thank you to WMC Partnerships for creating the virtual tour and generously donating an Osmond Otter prize.

🎉 Congratulations to Olivia in 7Y2, our lucky winner, who has received her very own Osmond Otter! 👏🦦

Our Year 11 students had a fantastic opportunity to explore their options for the future at yesterday’s Careers Fair!

From further education and apprenticeships to different career pathways and industries, students were able to speak directly with a range of exhibitors, ask questions and start thinking about what their next steps might look like.

A big thank you to all of the organisations and employers who joined us and helped inspire our students about the opportunities ahead.
