Last week, Year 5 students from Gearies Primary School impressed us with their starters - creating delicious fruit kebabs and a classic Caesar salad. 🍓🥗 On Friday last week, they stepped it up as they successfully prepared a fantastic Thai Green chicken curry for their main course! 🍛 We’re looking forward to welcoming them back for the final session, where the focus will be on crafting delicious desserts. This programme has been a brilliant opportunity for Year 5 students to experience secondary school life, build confidence and develop exciting new culinary skills. A huge thank you to Mr Delaney and Mr Kiani for leading such a successful and inspiring programme.

Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.

🎾 Fantastic effort on court this weekend! Aravv (Year 9) competed in a LTA Adaptive Tennis event at Redbridge Sports Centre, taking on a strong 19 year old opponent. In a closely fought match, he narrowly lost 2 sets to 1 - but what a performance! His determination, skill and resilience were truly impressive, showcasing both his development and passion for the game. A great experience and plenty to build on moving forward 👏

This week, Mr Kiani and Mr Choudhury, with the valued support of British Judo, delivered an inspiring and fun packed judo session as part of Deaf Awareness Week. Twenty seven deaf students from Caterham, Oaks Park School and Lister Community School stepped onto the mats for the very first time, embracing the challenge with enthusiasm and determination. The session was made even more special by the presence of Paralympic judo star Jack Hodgson, who joined students on the mat and shared his powerful journey as a Deaf and visually impaired athlete. Every student was awarded a medal in recognition of their fantastic effort, making it a truly memorable, inclusive and empowering experience for all involved. 👏

Diversity Day at Wembley Stadium with @NazLegacyFoundation We were proud to take part in an inspiring Diversity Day visit through the Naz Legacy Foundation, where 15 Year 10 students had an unforgettable behind the scenes experience at Wembley Stadium. Students had exclusive access to iconic areas including the changing rooms, players’ tunnel and pitch, bringing the world of elite sport to life. A standout moment was a powerful Q&A session with Rachel Yankey OBE – former Arsenal and England player, the UK’s first professional female footballer, European champion and record‑breaking Lioness. Our students represented the school exceptionally well, engaging Rachel with thoughtful, confident questions and demonstrating maturity in their discussions. Rachel herself praised their curiosity and insight. The visit offered valuable exposure to the breadth of career pathways within the football industry, including professional sport, coaching, sports science, media, marketing, events and leadership roles. This was a truly aspirational experience that challenged stereotypes and broadened horizons, particularly around women in sport. We are grateful to the @NazLegacyFoundation for providing such a meaningful opportunity.

Last Friday, in beautiful sunshine, Year 7 students took part in the latest house event - It’s a Knockout. The afternoon saw students working together in their house teams to complete a range of fun and energetic activities and challenges. Teamwork, perseverance and plenty of house spirit were on full display as students competed to earn valuable points for their houses. The event was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone involved. Well done to all students and staff who made the afternoon such a positive experience!

Their dedication and perseverance paid off as they created a detailed greenhouse model complete with a working light! This project showcased creativity, problem solving and the development of essential fine motor skills - an excellent example of learning through practical, engaging experiences. Well done to all involved! ProudMoment
