The National Skills Challenge is a UK-wide skills building and enterprise programme where students worked in teams to design, promote, and pitch innovative solutions to real-world problems. This engaged students in tasks such as idea generation, product design, and marketing, culminating in a “Dragons’ Den” style presentation competition.

Today Y12s took part in this challenge which aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurial thinking in our students. The skills they will develop through this process—such as problem-solving, collaboration, and presenting ideas—are invaluable for their future careers and personal development.

Two winning teams will be selected from our school to advance to the national finals, where they will have the chance to pitch at NatWest HQ in front of a panel of judges. This is not only a great experience but also a fantastic opportunity for them to grow in confidence and showcase their talents on a national stage.

This is a fully funded opportunity for our students and encourages them to tap into their energy and enthusiasm, and especially it equips them with skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.

We held our end of term prizegiving this morning. Congratulations to all our prize winners. 

Bronze, silver and gold certificates were awarded for Attainment, Achievement, Progress and 100% attendance throughout the year. Those pupils exemplifying the qualities of Emet and Emunah were also recognised in a prize draw.  We hope that even more pupils will be eligible for these awards next year. 

Year 12 Work Experience Week gives students the opportunities to sample office life, field work and to see how they could fit in to real world business and working environments.

Please click on this link and read the thoughts and reflections from Isla Abelson and Sam Pundick on their Work Experience Week.

This year, 8 yr12 students have been taking part in an industry mentoring scheme run by ORT Jump, based in London. We are the first school outside of London to take part.

Adiela Levine, Maia Lurie, Emily Radivan, Ayala Aronson, Ari Cohen, Grace Silvert, Freya Taylor, Max Shalks have all gained a huge amount from working with a mentor in their chosen industry, receiving advice, and tips about what it is like to work in that career. 3 travelled to London on 4th July and received graduation certificates alongside their London-based peers.

The great success this year owes to participant enthusiasm and diligence and we congratulate them all - well done!

We look forward to these students being ambassadors for next year's cohort and for this  partnership to go from strength to strength.

Many congratulations to the Year 9 and 10 Lego League winners for 'Best Robot Design'. The Lego league meets each week where they pratice techniques in design and programming. Everyone is welcome.
