Senior 10 Takeover Day

Our Takeover Day gave Senior 10 pupils a sneak peek into Sixth Form life! It was a great opportunity to try out different A-Level subjects, experience Ibstock Sixth Form and even test their problem solving and lateral thinking skills with some fun team building activities! The day gave pupils a taste of the future and sparked some serious thoughts and conversations about their next big steps.

Chinese Tea Ceremony

Our Senior 10 pupils studying Chinese had the opportunity to learn about the traditional Chinese tea ceremony from two tea experts from Hong Kong, Mr. Lai and Mr. Mak. Through engaging their five senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, they were able to appreciate the essence and significance of the tea ceremony and connect with an important part of Chinese heritage.

Harry Potter Literary Tea Party The winners of the Senior 9 Summer Reading Project were treated to a Harry Potter-themed tea party. This annual prize is awarded to the class with the highest average number of books read and the most impressive reading portfolios. Pupils enjoyed the festivities alongside their English teacher, Mr. Elstub, with themed decorations and food adding to the magical atmosphere.
