Team Time

On Tuesday 25th September we had a differences afternoon in Year 7 team time. Students have been undertaking a project called Identity and were looking at what makes us the same/different. As part of the afternoon we had Leicester Cobra’s wheelchair basketball coaches coming into school to host a series of interactive sessions with our students.

India Visit

On Wednesday 19th September, a small group of Year 11 students organised by Mrs Bloodworth met three principals from our partner schools in New Delhi, India.

The visit by Mrs Ameeta Mulla Wattal (Springdales School), Mrs Lata Vaidyanathan (Modern School) and Mrs Vijaya Subramanium (Sardar Patel) was part of the UKIERI project which aims to twin schools in the UK with similar schools in India. The meeting was a chance to learn new things and share ideas about how the project could develop.

The afternoon ended with a tour of the school and a promise to keep the links and expand them to more people so that they can continue into the future.

The two day visit posed many challenges and encouraged students to get to know each other, building relationships whilst having fun, solving problems and learning to work together as a team (pictures here).
