🌟 Student Success – Joshua’s Amazing Achievement! 🌟

We are incredibly proud to share that Joshua has achieved his Black Belt in Taekwondo! 🥋

On Saturday, Joshua attended the Taekwondo Dan Grading in Warcop, Cumbria, where he successfully passed in front of a panel of Masters and Grandmasters. As part of this challenging assessment, he demonstrated three Poomsae patterns, self-defence techniques, one-step moves, sparring, and board breaking.

Even more impressive is that Joshua has only been training for four years, showing outstanding commitment, resilience, and dedication to his sport. 💪

Joshua will now continue his training over the next year as he works towards achieving his Second Dan — and we wish him every success!

👏 Well done, Joshua – a fantastic accomplishment!

What an incredible achievement!

Over the past 6 months, our students have shown outstanding dedication, creativity, and teamwork while designing and building their own rockets in partnership with Durham University’s Launch for Change Project.

They proudly represented our school at the North Regional Final of the UKROC competition, with our top team achieving an impressive score of 245 points!

It was a fantastic day all around, with some rockets soaring to heights of over 1km - an amazing accomplishment!

We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work, innovation, and enthusiasm. The future is certainly looking bright!
