Working in Partnership
It was great to welcome a team of Senior Leaders, from our Partnership schools, to Winston, on Friday 17th March. Each member of the team had a programme of classroom visits, discussions with staff and question and answer sessions with students. The aim is to share ideas and create a professional dialogue.
Year 7 Maths Challenge
A group of talented Year 7 Mathematicians joined the Year 10 Maths Leaders for a session of problem solving during tutorial time.
Barista Success
The first cohort of students have successfully completed their Barista Qualifications, having faced a challenging practical examination, alongside the written paper. Students had to make seven different types of coffee in 16 minutes and were outstanding. Well done to all the students and to our tutor Mrs Clark for guiding these young people to achieve a qualification, which may well secure them full or part-time employment in the future.

Assembly this Week
We were delighted to welcome Patrick to our assemblies this week, to talk about the role of Young Carers and the pressure that this can place on students. Many of our students will be unaware of the challenges faced by a few of our young people as they support parents or siblings with illnesses or addiction. This can mean that they have very little free time to be a child and have pressures and responsibilities which most children find hard to imagine.
