Restart a Heart Life Saving Every October we participate in Restart a Heart aimed at increasing awareness of cardiac arrests and the number of people trained in lifesaving CPR and defibrillation. On Monday, pupils across the year groups attended a session to refresh or learn about CPR and what to do in a cardiac emergency. Click to see Year 7 in action
STEM Day We are proud to announce that two of our Year 9 teams came 1st and 2nd at the University of Bradford STEM competition day organised by The Smallpeice Trust to encourage pupils into STEM. Pupils were challenged to build and programme a lego vehicle to navigate around a city with zero human interaction and respond to emergencies. The final part of the day required pupils to give a presentation about their product.
Sixth Form Visit to Produmax Last week, some Sixth Form students visited local precision engineering firm, ProduMax. The trip was very insightful, and included a tour of the factory floor and the opportunity to examine the aerospace components designed and made on site, and used by every single operational plane in the world! Students were also introduced to the range of apprenticeship programmes offered at Produmax.
