🍫 Year 6’s Chocolate Challenge 🍫
Today saw our first transition event for Year 6 in preparation for Senior School, hosted by our English department.
Chief Chocolatier (aka Head of English), Miss Pearson, set our trainee confectioners a very sweet challenge: to design their own chocolate bar! They set about creating a brand name and ingredients list ahead of their carousel of activities: package designing, descriptive writing and even making their own TV advert! It only seemed right (in the name of thorough research), that they also complete a rigorous taste test. Thank you Miss Russell 😊
We hope all of our Year 6 students who visited the Senior School today, enjoyed their insight into Year 7 (although we cannot always guarantee chocolate treats)! The imagination, creativity and teamwork on display was fantastic.
We think a certain Mr Wonka would be very proud.

Each September our Year 7 students spend the week together at Bushcraft, learning new skills, forging new friendships and cementing existing ones.
The students were taught a range of practical skills such as knife skills, camp cooking and first aid, as well as building shelters, making traps and taking a wilderness walk!
Even in the British weather, their spirits couldn’t be dampened. Thank you to the staff and Bushcraft team for another memorable trip.
