Science Club made hovercrafts last week! 🎈

Inflated balloons are attached to a CD, and when the air is released, with a little push, they can travel some distance.

They were testing designs to see which would travel the furthest; for example, by comparing balloons of different sizes. Interesting stuff!

If your child enjoys experimenting and solving puzzles, come and join the Year 7 Science Club - every other Thursday, 3-4PM in G19.

63 Year 10 students headed out on their Bronze The Duke of Edinburgh's Award qualifying expedition this weekend.

The group, divided into teams, trekked across Burton in Lonsdale to Austwick, with an overnight camp on Thursday.

After a soggy start, they got to see some cracking views along the way, and even made friends with some cows! 🐮

Year 12 parents - a date for your diaries 📣

Please join us for our Next Steps evening!

Choosing what to do after sixth form is one of the biggest decisions a young person will make.

We want to support this journey as much as we can, and so our Next Steps evening is an opportunity to gather information on choices, ask questions, and meet some of the providers that will facilitate post-18 pathways.

📆 Tuesday 19 May | 5:30-7:15pm
📍Sixth Form Theatre

Well done to our unstoppable basketball team! 🏀

Our Year 7 basketball team had a run of victories last week in the U12 Lancashire Schools Basketball cup final, including...

38-23 win against Our Lady's Catholic High School from Preston, finishing top in the regional group.

43-29 win against St Augustine's in the quarter final.

We then headed to the finals day at Cardinal Newman College to play Garstang Academy, winning 40-18 in the semi-final.

The team then put on a brilliant performance to defeat Our Lady's in the final. 🎉

The team were unbeaten on their way to the final and scored over 200 points total!

17 players played a part in the team's success from the group stage all the way to the final.

Amazing!
