School is open from 10am until 12 for GCSE results tomorrow, we are really looking forward to seeing all our wonderful year 11 leavers again. Remember, whatever your results are, you have shown RESILIENCE, PERSEVERANCE AND CONFIDENCE to get this far!
If your teenager is feeling overwhelmed about GCSE results tomorrow, show them this grounding technique. It’s called the alphabet game – and it was a game changer for 16 year old Kerry.
Happy Last Day Of Term, celebrating by buying every child an ice cream. Have a safe Summer everyone.
Cranswick have had a lovely morning at Far Ings wildlife reserve. So far, they've done some pond dipping and bird watching and we have a mini beast hunt to look forward to after lunch.
All set up for our final WRAP session today. The students have invited the parents to come and celebrate with us.
Student and parent progress reports are ready to fill in.
It has been a lovely group and watching the students' progress has been amazing. @CentreSullivan
On our KS3 visit to Maths City today students behaved extremely well and explored lots of maths that we didn't even know was maths! The hands-on exhibits and workshop creating Leonardo Da Vinci's self-supporting dome kept everyone engaged.
In our workshop, we learnt about the importance of healing through humming sounds. We learnt about the importance of God through the Hindu faith and how this is different to our own beliefs. We were even able to have an attempt at playing a gong!
We have been investigating what happens to light when it hits a smooth surface (a mirror) and different shape prisms. We had loads of fun moving the prisms and trying to make a rainbow!
The students had a great time on their visit to Far Ings earlier this month. It was great to see them all engaged in the first activity of pond dipping. We found pond skaters, a baby dragonfly and stickleback fish 🐟
We celebrated Pride month with a party and a parade to show #LOVEISLOVE ❤🌈🌈🌈
Due to a very rainy morning, the students made use of breakfast club in our new cafe this morning. ☔️🌧️☂️
