Year 7 Poetry Party

Some of our year 7 students were invited to a very festive poetry party in the College Library hosted by poet Craig Bradley . The event was full of music, rhythm and rhyme. Students had fun exploring poetry and making up their own festive ditty.

Miss Busby, Open Learning Centre Manager was delighted with the success of the event. “Our year 7 students found Craig really engaging and entertaining. It was lovely to see them having fun with rhyme. Many students asked when he was coming back!’  We hope that Craig can find space in his diary to visit us again next year.

Students visit the House of Lords

A group of our students were amongst the 200 who attended the recent Girls Breaking Barriers event at the House of Lords.  This was a chance to have their say on some of the key barriers facing girls and young women in the UK and around the world. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the passing of the Life Peerages Act 1958, which enabled women to be members of the House of Lords.

The 8 girls attended as part of a project they are doing with Getaway Girls and were also involved in chairing some of the debates which focused on four barriers and potential solutions.  Each debate was then summarised by a member of the House of Lords before voting.  A very memorable experience for all involved.
