🎓 Welcome to Furze Platt, Year 7! 💙

What a fantastic start to secondary school for our new Year 7 students! As part of their first day, students came together for a special welcome assembly with our Headteacher, Dr Andrew Morrison.

The assembly was a chance to welcome them to the Furze Platt community and look ahead to the exciting opportunities, challenges and experiences that await them.

We want every student to feel that they belong, have the confidence to thrive and are supported to ACHIEVE their very best. 🌟

We’re so pleased to have our new Year 7s with us and can’t wait to see all they accomplish during their time at Furze Platt!

🎨 Year 8 Design & Technology: Finished Designs! 🎨

Take a look at some fantastic examples of our Year 8 Design & Technology projects, created with Mr Twiney.

As part of the project, students were challenged to design and make a game for a 7-year-old, using a range of materials and techniques to create an engaging way to move a ball from start to finish. 🎯

From the initial design ideas through to the finished game boards, students have demonstrated creativity, problem-solving and practical making skills to bring their ideas to life.

Well done to our Year 8 students on some brilliant finished designs! 👏
