Day 3 the Final day: The day started with all 3 groups taking on laser tag at little Wembley on the sand. Each team battled it out against the PGL staff with some great team work on show. After this the last activity of the day was the terrifying but hugely fun Giant Swing. All 3 groups braved the swing with courage. We ended our residential with a good old fish and chip lunch before heading home on the coach where the silence was taken as a very successful visit, as the children were having some well earn rest time. Well done to all students who came on the trip you all were brilliant and smashed it. Here's to the next one!
Day 2 Osmington Bay: What a fun pack day! Starting of with a trip to Portland to go the Sailing Centre where they held the 2012 Olympics the students spent the morning team build ing and designing rafts with all three groups being successful in keeping a float even if it was a tiny bit cold In the afternoon the adrenaline was pumping as students tackled the trapeze as well as learning a new skill of axe throwing! After all this excitement the evening was spent around the campfire toasting marshmallows and chilling by the sport centre. One more morning of activities to come on what has been a very successful trip so far!
What a brilliant first day on camp windy, but thankfully dry! The students threw themselves into the Vertical Challenge before unleashing their inner Robin Hood during the afternoon's archery sessions. In the evening, "Little Wembley" played host to what I'm sure will be the first of many cup finals, followed by an epic Silent Disco! Judging by the amount of singing, there may be a few croaky voices this morning! An excellent start to camp, with water activities lined up for this morning.
A huge shout out to Harry! Harry spent the weekend competing in the British Junior Championship against a field of over 50 drivers, including former and current National, UK and British Champions. And he only went and won the whole thing! We couldn't be prouder of you, Harry. Your hard work, determination and talent continue to amaze us, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for you. The sky's the limit! Congratulations, Harry – what an incredible achievement!
A great start to our Year 11 and Year 13 exams this term. Fantastic attendance, punctuality and effort. Well done to you all and we hope you find a good balance between revision and rest this half term. Enjoy the sunshine!
We would like to let you know about important changes to Free School Meals (FSM) that will come into effect from September 2026. From September 2026, all students from households receiving Universal Credit will be able to receive a free school meal, regardless of household income. This means many more families may now qualify. Currently, families receiving Universal Credit only qualify if their annual earnings are below £7,400. This income threshold will be removed from September 2026. Wiltshire Council is introducing a targeted autoenrolment programme for Free School Meals (FSM). This will help identify children who may be entitled to FSM but are not currently registered. If your child is identified, the council may contact you directly. Only families identified through these checks will receive a letter. If you receive a letter, read it carefully and follow the instructions. If you believe your child may be eligible and you are not contacted, apply using the normal link below or contact us and we will support you with this: https://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/schools-learning-free-school-meals Wiltshire Free school meals team: Email: fsm@wiltshire.gov.uk Phone: 01225 713780 Families are encouraged to apply even if they have previously been refused, as the rules are changing significantly.

Attendance matters. Every day missed is 5 lessons of lost learning. 97% attendance is the expectation and allows for up to 5 days of sickness in addition to the 13 weeks of school holidays and 5 TD days.
Around the World in a Bite! Our Year 10 Food Preparation and Nutrition students recently took on the Tunnock's Teacake Challenge! Using just one teacake, they were challenged to design and present a creative idea inspired by the theme 'Around the World in a Bite'. The results were incredible, showcasing imagination, creativity, and fantastic presentation skills throughout.
Our green-fingered students have been hard at work in the Learn & Grow garden this year, with fantastic support from Mrs Magee and the results are already showing! Jack has harvested an impressive bumper crop of radishes already Gardening is a brilliant way for young people to learn new skills, build confidence and enjoy time outdoors. It also supports wellbeing, encourages teamwork and teaches patience and responsibility all while having fun and connecting with nature. We're so proud of everything our students are growing, both in the garden and beyond!
