This half term our Sixth Form students have been enjoying even more fantastic lectures! We've had Dr Bland explaining her PhD experience, Ms Wilcox asking 'Is there life after death?', Mr Greenhalgh and Roi (Year 12) debating the end of history theory and Mr Pigott sharing his experiences of volunteering with the charity Samaritans.

The variations in these lectures have given students the opportunity to explore a range or areas and develop their knowledge and understanding of a wide range of topics in an interesting and critical way.

As always, a huge thank you to all the staff who have given up their time to take part! 

Year 13 Sociology and Politics also enjoyed an afternoon at The Supreme Court where they learned about the checks and balances within British democracy and the role that the court plays in this. They also asked some incredibly thoughtful questions about the lack of representation seen from the 11 justices and how this is being tackled going forwards to increase the credibility of The Supreme Court.

We organise a Sixth Form Christian Fellowship every Wednesday from 1.15 to 1.45pm. This group provides a welcoming space for students to pause in the middle of a busy week, reflect on their faith, and encourage one another. Sessions may include short discussions, prayer, or exploring how Christian values can be lived out in everyday life. Students of all backgrounds are very welcome, whether they wish to actively participate or simply come along to listen and enjoy the supportive environment.

We were excited to launch our Elephant Group for the year, bringing our school community together to build connection, teamwork, and a strong sense of belonging. It was a positive and inclusive start to the year for all involved.
