Activities Day 2016 On Monday 18th July our Year 7-9s are partaking in our annual ‘Activities Day’. The day has grown in recent years and this year the activities include an eclectic mix of Scuba Diving at Stony Cove, kayaking with Leamington Kayak Centre, skiing at Tamworth Snowdome, visiting Harry Potter World and Wicksteed Park, Craft workshops, and Japanese Culture Workshops. Work Experience For the week of July 11th our Year 10’s leave us temporarily to sample the world of work. At a time when businesses are often reluctant or unable to take on a GCSE student for a week, it is always testament to our students and Mrs Jones that all our students have managed to get a placement. Placements include a week with the London Transport Police, football coaching with Strachan Soccer Schools, helping out at the Rugby Polo Club and Bilton Vets. Many thanks to all the local employers for giving our students such a rewarding experience. Hou
