In Year 7 Humanities lessons, we have been studying the purpose of medieval castles. Year 7 students worked to design castles with realistic representations of key features of castles during this time, including machicolations, mangonels, merlons and embrasures.
Our students used a wide range of creative design tools including Lego, Minecraft, digital design software, or even just pen and paper! An impressive range of creations were well-explained and our students had convincing accounts of design choices so that their castles projected political power in the feudal system!

Following the postponement of Journey’s End before Christmas, we are pleased to announce the new dates.
Year 9 have been showing their green fingers/thumbs by trying to germinate cress seeds under various conditions, to see what is important for the seed growth.
