Our students have remained committed to their studies this week during the partial closures of the College, and I would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding.Â
1:1 device scheme update
Gaining the skills required to thrive in an increasingly digitalised world is an important part of our students’ education. Everyone in Years 7 and 8 now have their own Chromebook device thanks to our 1:1 device scheme, which has been an overwhelming success.Â
This week, we were pleased to host a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) event on 1:1 devices with other schools within the Eastern Learning Alliance Trust. During the afternoon, staff were able to learn new strategies and skills to support student learning using the Chromebooks to support students’ digital proficiency.
Exhibition showcases students’ ‘art’ and soul
Our Brackenbury Room has been transformed during the past week to host our International Baccalaureate (IB) Visual Arts students’ Art Show. Our students worked incredibly hard to create an exhibition that showcased a range of artistic disciplines, including sculptures, portraits and still life paintings, photography and more. Thank you all for joining us at the exhibition earlier this week.Â
Be sure to keep your eyes on our Sixth Form’s Instagram, Twitter and Facebook page for highlights.Â
Climate and law: COP 15 and you!
