On Friday 9th May, West Sussex Fire & Rescue visited us as part of a ‘Careers Event’.
The day started off brilliantly with the fire engine and the firefighters arriving on site. Students were able to explore the fire engine and use the hoses, which they really enjoyed.
Next, they looked at a bedroom set up, and identified and discussed the fire hazards.
The morning finished off with a careers talk and presentation led by the firefighters.
The event gave our students a fantastic opportunity to learn about the different roles within the fire brigade. We really appreciate the fire fighters for taking time out of their busy day to visit us.
We look forward to seeing them again in the near future!

This March, some of our upper school students took part in a residential trip to the Ullswater Outward Bound Centre, which is set in the beautiful Lake District.
It was a fantastic week. Our students went out of their comfort zones and took part in a range of outdoor activities such as abseiling, rowing, wild swimming and climbing.
Lots of fears were conquered and, as always, we are very proud of their achievements.

Landcraft Carpentry Project – 18/03/25

Winter is the best time for small DIY projects. Our students have recently enjoyed making some fantastic nesting boxes as part of their landcraft carpentry project.
The nesting boxes are made from recycled pallets. Firstly, students spent time preparing the wood by removing any nails/screws and sanding any particular rough or spiky edges, before measuring the wood to the correct size and creating their nesting boxes.
Once finished, students were able to take their projects home and use them in their own gardens or gift to family and friends.
