There was a tangible buzz in the air this morning as our students headed off for a day of discovery!
From coastal conservation to campus life, today is about trading the classroom for real-world experience.

Here’s what’s happening:
• Year 7: Beach Clean
• Year 8: Sustainability at Knepp & Wakehurst
• Year 9: Wellbeing Workshops
• Year 10: Visit to Sussex University
We can’t wait to hear all the stories when you get back. Have a brilliant day, everyone!

What an incredible two nights at our school dance show on Tuesday and last night! 🌟

A huge well done to all of the dancers involved for their hard work, commitment and brilliant performances — you were amazing on stage and should be so proud of yourselves. 👏💃🕺

Thank you also to all of the staff involved for their support and dedication in making the show such a success.

We’ve had a wonderful week hosting 16 students and 5 teachers from Indonesia — and it finishes with a celebration this afternoon!
This week our guests joined lessons, enjoyed trips to Brighton, and are heading off to London this weekend.
Thank you to everyone who’s helped make this visit so special! 🌍🤝
