🏛️ Our Year 13 A Level Politics students had a fantastic opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament on Monday.

After an early start, the Sixth Formers even managed to unexpectedly catch a glimpse of our Prime Minister boarding a train at Paddington before they took the Tube to Westminster and the Houses of Parliament.

The Year 13 students were given a tour of the House of Commons and the House of Lords before taking part in an educational workshop where they were challenged to create their own political party and produce a manifesto.

🗳️ During the hustings, we were joined by local MP and Furze Platt alumnus -reynolds-mp who listened to our students’ speeches before hosting a lively Q&A session.

Students took the opportunity to ask about life as an MP, who he had been most surprised to get along with during his time in Parliament, and even who the most famous person in his phone contacts was 📱⭐ (we are still waiting for an answer to that last one! 😄).

👏 A huge thank you to Joshua Reynolds for taking time out of his busy schedule to support and inspire our students during their visit.

🌍 Experiences like these help deepen understanding of democracy, politics and public service while encouraging young people to engage with the world around them.

This Wednesday, the focus was on strengthening those abs.

The best part? We can adapt the sessions to suit your needs, helping everyone work towards their own fitness goals. Fly-half Henry (Year 8), pictured adapting his exercises and keeping himself fit. Great show of endurance, Henry! 👏

🎃🌿 Gardening Club: Spooky Creations and Christmas Crafts Ahead! 👻

Our Gardening Club had a spooky time carving pumpkins this week! 🎃 It was fantastic to see students getting creative and enjoying some seasonal fun together.

We’re already looking forward to welcoming everyone back after half term for another term of gardening, creativity and outdoor adventures! 🌱

🎄 Next term will include Christmas crafts, as well as getting outside whenever the weather allows.

🧥 Top tip: Bring a coat! We’ll be making the most of the outdoors whenever we can.

🌿 Gardening Club is open to all year groups – whether you love getting creative, enjoy being outdoors or simply want to try something new, come along and join us!

💼 YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE 2027 – SAVE THE DATE! 📅

Our Year 10 students will be heading out into the world of work from Monday 21 to Wednesday 23 June 2027, and we need your help to make it happen! 💙

👋 Parents and carers – can you help?

We’re looking for businesses and employers who could offer one of our students a work experience placement next June.

Could you help in any of the following ways?
💼 Offer a student a placement at your workplace.
🤝 Put us in touch with a business or employer who might be able to help.
📣 Share this post with your contacts to help us spread the word!

Work experience is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop confidence, learn new skills and gain valuable insight into different careers and working environments.

📧 Can you help? Please contact Miss Stirling at [email protected].

📌 Year 10 parents and carers: Further information about the programme, including next steps and expectations, will be shared in November via Arbor and a dedicated student assembly.

Thank you for helping us create valuable opportunities for our students as they explore their futures and prepare to thrive! 🌟
