• Mrs. McNulty will be leading assemblies on heart disease, looking at the causes and prevention.
• In science lessons, students across all year groups will learn about the functions of the heart.
• In form time, students will get the opportunity to learn CPR.
• In PE lessons, students will take part in a healthy heart relay competition.
• Selected students will be invited to take part in a STEM-focused activity involving a dissection of a heart.

We are incredibly fortunate to be able to host the RSC who will be performing ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and students in Year 11 will have the opportunity to watch the performance which will aid their GCSE preparation.

We will be holding a number of charity events including a bake sale, a doughnut sale and a non-uniform day. All the money raised will go towards Great Ormond Street Hospital, which specialises in children's care. Students and staff alike are encouraged to give £1 to support this fundraising event. We ask that students wear something with hearts, red or even a hint of red to celebrate ‘Open Heart Week.’ To donate, please use the link below:
