A beautiful half term down at the lake has come to an end and what amazing weather they've enjoyed! ☀️ 🎣 Our AP fishing courses at KS3 & KS4 are more than just fishing. Paul & his team educate young people on water safety, eco systems, biodiversity & responsible fishing.
Heading into the summer break, we had an extremely engaging & informative circle time about opportunities available locally during the summer. Take a look at the links below👇 👉 watfordactually.com/big-screen-tow… 👉 watfordcommunityfamilyfunday.org 👉 watford.gov.uk/news/article/6…
Our enrichment theme blended with competitive spirit at our annual Sports Day on Monday at StoneX Stadium, hosted by @Saracens. A fantastic day of skill, courage, resilience & great pride from all teams. It's days like this that students remember far beyond their school years!
Enrichment Week provides students with valuable learning opportunities, teaching life skills and creating memorable experiences! Last Friday, everyone enjoyed a wonderful day at the Aquadrome by the lake! 🚣

This week’s Learning Outside the Classroom took us to Dropbar Bikes in Riverside Park, where Shaun led a hands-on bike maintenance session. Full of practical tips, he helped students walk away with squeaky‑clean, smooth‑running bikes 🚲🔧
Brilliant visit to Evolve Salon in Watford today! ✂️ Our student got first-hand insights from a pro stylist - real talk on breaking into the industry and what it takes to succeed!💇♀️

100% again in all Gatsby Benchmarks! 🏆 Huge thanks to Mrs Pantelli, Ms Vincent-Edwards & SfYP careers advisor Matt Penn for outstanding work in this area making sure our students get fantastic careers guidance and opportunities.
Massive shoutout to @Wenzelsthebaker and especially Adam for an unforgettable day! Our students got hands on baking bread, decorating gingerbread men and fairy cakes and even had a behind-the-scenes tour of the factory. Smiles (and icing) everywhere! 🍞🍰👨🍳
Students have been getting creative with blackout poetry! 📓 A simple activity that anyone can do to create new writing from texts that are already provided. With a few days left of half term, why not give it a go!
