Geography At the end of the last half term, the Year 12 Geographers attended their residential to Dale Fort, Pembrokeshire as part of their preparation for their Non-Examined Assessment. Students spent one day collecting and analysing data on regeneration in Haverfordwest and Milford Haven and one day collecting and analysing data on coasts at Newgale and Milford Beach. There was lots of excellent work completed including a chi squared analysis and a number of complex data presentation techniques using GIS. A wonderful time was had by all.

Trenches trip to belgium English

In English, students have enjoyed lots of opportunities for creativity. Following the joint Trenches Trip to France and Belgium, L5 students have explored different perspectives and attitudes to war through creative writing; the other Middle School students have been exploring different opportunities to work creatively.

The L6 language students satisfied their curiosity about language by attending English Grammar Day at UCL and discovered the new and exciting field of Eco linguistics. We welcomed writer in residence Rachel Long, who ran workshops with all year groups in June; she also offered students wise advice on how to start, write and edit their work.

We look forward with anticipation to reading the entries to the Novel Writing Competition when we return in September – an opportunity for all students to be ambitious, curious and creative at the same time.
