This newsletter was written with the help of our work experience student, Jake.

Work Experience

Many students in KS4 (including myself, who’s writing this newsletter right now!) have been doing Work Experience during this Term. Some of the places our students have visited include:

  • A nursery & a school
  • A textile factory
  • A Leisure centre
  • M&S
  • And the school office (hey, that’s where I am!)
  • A mechanic

In my humble opinion, I think the people I’ve talked to (and also myself) have all enjoyed our work experience this term, and we all thank Ross for giving us the opportunity!

Welcome Back Miss White

Miss White came back this term, and I’m certain that I can speak for myself and everyone else in this school that we are all super happy to have her back!

Once again, we would like to thank Marissa for holding down the fort in the office while she was gone, and a nice, warm welcome to Miss White!

Multicultural Day

We learnt lots about the Olympics during our Multicultural Day this term. This consisted of an art activity, learning some French, a quiz, and holding our own mini-Olympics!

It was a great day!

Art Exhibition

This term, our Vocational Studies group organised our annual art exhibition. We were amazed by all of the fantastic artwork created by our students, and the Vocational Studies group did a great job of putting it all together. Thank you King Street Gallery for your help.

Incredible Eggs

We were very egg-cited to host some special guests from Incredible Eggs this term. We looked after the chicken eggs, and kept them warm in the incubator, and watched them hatch. We then looked after the chicks for a few days until they went back to the farm.

It’s always a great experience for the students to learn about life cycles and interacting with and caring for animals.

Ramsgate Tunnels Art Competition Winner

We would like to give a big congratulations to Kyan for winning Ramsgate Tunnels’ art competition for his age group! Nightingale Class students designed their own postcards on the theme of ’We Love Ramsgate Tunnels’ in recognition of the tunnels’ 10th anniversary.
