💌 A brilliant message from one of our Year 11 pupils to our new starters:
“You’ll be welcomed with open arms."
We love how our students say it how it is.
If you`re starting at Venn soon — you’re in very good company.

At Venn Boulevard Centre, we know that a calm mind is key to effective learning. That’s why therapeutic interventions like aromatherapy are an important part of our personalised approach.
From helping pupils regulate their emotions to improving focus and impulse control, these small, sensory-based sessions make a big impact on executive functioning skills. Whether it’s lavender to soothe anxiety or citrus scents to energise, we’re always exploring ways to support wellbeing and boost learning in meaningful ways.

Today, Compass Class set sail on a local adventure to the Hull Fishing Heritage Centre!
We were warmly welcomed by ex-trawlermen who shared first-hand stories of life at sea—bringing history vividly to life.
Ruby especially enjoyed exploring the detailed boat models and hearing the fascinating tales behind them. We even spotted some vintage compasses, perfectly linking to both our class name and our current science topic!
Although we ran out of time for the Morse code activity (too many brilliant conversations!), we’re lucky it’s right on our doorstep—so a return visit is definitely on the cards.
A highlight? Discovering the original photo behind our very own school mural on the staircase!

🐀🎸 Friday Afternoon Rat Hunting! 🎸🐀
As part of our Friday Enrichment programme, students chose an afternoon exploring the legacy of Mick Ronson and his influence on Hull’s music scene. We headed into the city centre to hunt down the iconic rat statues, each picking a favourite and reflecting on why.
This fun and engaging activity also supported key Executive Functioning skills like planning, decision-making, and flexible thinking. 🧠💡
Excellent behaviour from all students—a pleasure to take out!
