Dryvebox
The heat wave has not defeated us yet as we are adapting and creating new opportunities for our students within different sporting activities. On Tuesday 23rd June, Dryvebox UK set up their simulator and we invited 10 students per lesson across the day to experience a state-of the art golf lesson with former Portuguese golf player, Pedro Lemos.
It was fantastic to see our students explore, take on individual feedback and progress within this environment and thank you to the Kate & Justin Rose Foundation for providing this. The PE department also enjoyed a cheeky go at break time!
We look forward to working with the foundation again in the future.

Active Travel
Last week, more than 900 students and staff started "the day the active way" by taking part in one of three wellbeing walks around the school field as part of our Active Travel Week.
The response was overwhelmingly positive, with students enjoying the opportunity to get some fresh air, be active, and spend time socialising with friends before the start of the day. The walks created a vibrant atmosphere across the school and provided a fantastic boost to wellbeing.
Throughout the week, KS3 students were also encouraged to cycle to school, with all participants being entered into a prize draw, which will take place later this week.
The feedback from students summed up the week perfectly: "Energetic, brilliant, very positive, vibrant, super fun!"
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make Active Travel Week such a success.

Aquathlon
A group of our Year 7–9 students recently took part in an exciting Aquathlon, showing fantastic determination, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout the event. Combining swimming and running, the competition challenged all participants to push themselves both physically and mentally.
All of the students represented the school brilliantly, giving their best effort and supporting one another from start to finish. Their hard work and commitment were clear to see, and they should all be very proud of their performances.
A special congratulations goes to Anastasia in Year 8, who delivered an outstanding performance to finish 1st in her age group, and to Takara in Year 9 who achieved an excellent 2nd place in his age group.
