As part of the Y9 Israel Tour, students have been visiting the Old City of Jerusalem and the holiest site in Jweish life, the Kotel. They are having an amazing week together bonding, volunteering and learning about the State of Israel. Many thanks to Rabbi C.Cohen and Mr.Cheetham for leading this experience.

We are proud to announce the introduction of the KD Campus Allotment which will stimulate  and engage student discussion and concern for the living planet, ethical resourcing, climate change and wellbeing.

Students across the campus - from Nursery to High School - will be responsible for the maintenance, development, planning and care of the allotment, and are encouraged to volunteer time and support. They will growing herbs, flowers, planting fruit trees and vegetable beds.

We are looking for parent sponsorship, experience and resourcing to enhance development of this campus-wide project. Many thanks to Mrs.Selby, Miss.Longley and Mr.Cheetham for spearheading this initiative with the KD pupil team.

We wish safe travels and excellent adventures to all the students and staff embarking on the Y9 Israel Tour led by Mr.Cheetham and rabbi Cohen. We look forward to hearing about your stories and experiences when you return.

This term our Year 9 students studying Spanish have been exchanging emails with students from the IES Salvador de Madariaga school in La Coruña, Galicia.They have also recorded and uploaded videos onto a blog to introduce themselves to their penpals. 
On Wednesday 15th May, the group had their first live video conference with the students in Spain.
The session enabled the students from both schools to converse in Spanish and English. It was a great opportunity for  students to develop their Spanish language skills, to learn about the culture of Spain, to form friendships abroad and improve their confidence in spoken Spanish.
Many thanks to all students involved. It was a great success. ​
