Last week we were pleased to host parents and carers at our first Proud Parents morning of the academic year. Students and families in Compass class tried a new activity and used decoupage to make an autumnal tea light holder! We look forward to seeing everyone at our next family event.
Hands-on science in Year 7!
This week, our Year 7 pupils dissected hearts as part of their science lessons, taking a closer look at the structure of this incredible organ and learning how it pumps blood around the body. 🔬🫀

Today, Compass class used double-sided counters to create arrays which helped them to write ratios in their simplest forms. They were able to use the counters to justify their thinking. Great work! #TeamVBC
Lego club was a huge hit with the year 7`s today but I think Mr Dobbs had the most fun!
Everyone was fully engaged in their own unique creations but they equally worked together to find pieces for one another.
