Want to become a teacher?

Are you interested in becoming a teacher (either primary or secondary)? If so, please e-mail Miss Clarke to let her know. Mrs. Hodgetts is organising some 'coaching training' for a group of students in the Sixth Form. It will take place later in the summer term and will provide you with the skills and experience that university admissions tutors are looking for.

Pasta Mania in the Canteen!

From next tuesday (29th April), healthy new pasta pots will be sold in the school canteen. A big pot of pasta with a tasty sauce of your choice will cost £1.50. On launch day there will be a free milkshake too for every student buying a pasta pot! If Sixth Form students like the new pasta pots Nicky, the school's catering manager, will try and ensure they are sold within the Sixth Form block. Come along all next week to try these new delicious dishes for yourself!

The site also has course information for different universities and is well worth looking at before you decide which Open Days that you are interested in going to in the next few months.
