Refugee week

Refugee Week is from June 17th to June 24th. It is a festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary.

On Friday we joined with hundreds of schools across the country in celebrating a ‘day of welcome’. This day leads into Refugee week the following week.  

The theme for this year’s Refugee week is ‘home’- what is a home? What does home look like? what is it like to leave ‘home’ etc.

Students discussed the following themes:

• What is a refugee?

• Why do people become refugees?

• How is life difficult for refugees?

• Can you be a refugee in your own country?

• How can we help refugees?

Each form produced a poster around the theme of ‘welcome’ for refugees, which will be on display in the hall for refugee week.

A big Thank you to Curry’s for their generous donation of a wide screen TV for school. We are going to use it in the entrance to display information and messages for the students.

PGL Summer 2024

We have had three trips to PGL this term for different year groups.

All the trips were successful and enjoyed by staff and students.

Summer term

We welcomed all the students back to school on Monday morning for the summer term.

Secondary students participated in an assembly based on the ‘The Real Truth’ Legacy Project in relation to the Hillsborough Disaster which had such a huge impact on the city 35 years ago. We remembered the 97 lives lost and acknowledged the events that happened afterwards, including the families fight on behalf of their loves ones to achieve justice.
