We always look forward to the summer fayre and this year did not let us down! The sun was shining for us which supported our Hawaiian theme. Our school families and wider communitites came out in force to enjoy the morning. 34BC Hawaiian selfies were also a great success!

The school prom is always a bittersweet one for the staff. We are sad to see the students leaving us but it is such a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far they have come! Their journey through school has centered around learning for life and watching them celebrate that journey at the prom fills us with immense pride. 

Our recent school sleepover was a huge success and a wonderful experience for all of the children involved.

The evening was packed with exciting activities, including hydrotherapy, trampolining, gaming on Xbox consoles, arts and crafts, bike riding, and finishing the night with a film. There was something for everyone to enjoy and the children embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and excitement.

One of the highlights of the event was seeing the children interact, socialise and build friendships outside of the normal school day. They spent time chatting, laughing and sharing experiences together, creating many special memories.

As they settled down to watch a film, the children enjoyed popcorn and sweets, making it feel like a real cinema experience. The atmosphere throughout the evening was full of fun, friendship and excitement.

We are incredibly proud of all of the children for their excellent behaviour and positive attitudes. It was fantastic to see their confidence grow as they took part in new activities and enjoyed spending time with their peers.

A big thank you to all the staff who helped make the sleepover such a memorable and successful event. We are already looking forward to the next one!

Students from years 9 and 10 recently enjoyed an exciting athletics experience at Quibell Park as part of their PE lessons. The visit gave students the opportunity to take part in a variety of track and field events whilst experiencing a professional athletics facility.

Throughout the session, students challenged themselves in a range of activities including hurdles, long jump, high jump, 80-metre sprints and vortex howler throws. The events allowed everyone to develop their athletic skills, improve their personal performances and try activities that they may not usually experience during regular PE lessons.

There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day, with students encouraging one another and celebrating each other’s achievements. Many students impressed staff with their determination, effort and willingness to step outside their comfort zones.

The 80-metre sprints provided some exciting races, while the field events gave students the chance to test their speed, power and technique. The vortex howler throw proved particularly popular, with students competing to see who could achieve the longest distance.

Overall, the Quibell Park experience was a huge success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to develop their confidence, teamwork and athletic ability whilst having fun and staying active.

Our students represented the school brilliantly at this year’s Quad Kids Athletics competition at Costello stadium, taking on schools from across North Lincolnshire, East Riding and Hull.

Throughout the event, our athletes showed fantastic determination, teamwork and resilience as they competed in four challenging events: the vortex howler throw, standing long jump, 50m sprint and the demanding 300m run.

Every student gave 100%, encouraging one another throughout the day and demonstrating excellent sportsmanship. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they challenged themselves against athletes from other schools.

The students should be incredibly proud of their performances. They competed with enthusiasm, represented the school with pride and proved that hard work and perseverance really do pay off.

Well done to everyone who took part—you were amazing and a credit to the school!

Bendrigg 2026 proved wonderful with sunshine and warmth all week. The students and staff embraced the opportunity for five days away from home and school to explore The Bendrigg Trust and the possibilities this incredible residential brings.

Students took part in canoeing, rock climbing, abseiling, caving, walking, cycling, zip wire, campfire, sensory slide and rope swings. They enjoyed the onsite facilities including the sensory room, lounge and fabulous food from the onsite kitchen. The staff at Bendrigg were very supportive and knowledgeable, working alongside our staff to get the most out of each activity for our students.

A huge thanks FOSH who helped with sponsorship towards the visit, to the staff for volunteering to support the visit, to The Bendrigg Trust and mostly to our wonderful students!

This year, year 10 students enjoyed a wide range of work experience placements, gaining valuable insight into the world of work, whilst developing essential employability skills. Placements took place with local employers including John Leggott College, North Lindsey College, Frederick Gough School Library, 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, North Lincolnshire Museum, Little Frogs Daycare, Oasis Hub Henderson Avenue, New Beginnings Gym, North Lincolnshire Catering Service, Ongo Homes, CanPack, Engineering UTC North Lincolnshire and Monster Shine Car Valeting.

Students reported improving key skills such as communication, teamwork, organisation and punctuality. They also learned how to communicate with different people, become more confident when offering help and take greater responsibility in the workplace. Looking ahead, many students identified confidence and meeting new people as skills they would like to continue developing.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of our employer partners for helping our students develop the skills, confidence and aspirations that will support them in their future education and careers. As always, if you are able to support us with a work experience placement in the future, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

In March some of our year 11 students attended a school sleepover where they enjoyed swimming, trampolining, hair and beauty and playing sports at bizarre times during the evening – they loved a pre-bedtime game of football! We then settled to bed after watching a film or cartoon along with popcorn and crisps, and enjoyed a good sleep. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast the next day followed by some time outside then chilling out with friends before being collected by parents. 

A huge thank you must go to the staff team who volunteer their precious time – it is much appreciated.

Our school council representatives enjoyed the annual residential trip to London. Enjoying the coach ride down, followed by a trip on the Thames on a UBER boat. They then stayed overnight and had a tour of the House of Parliament the next day. This is an important opportunity for our school council members to visit our capital and where the Members of Parliament make their decisions. 

The students had a brilliant time showcasing their amazing dance moves and Christmas party clothes!

On the 14th May 2025 we held a mock christening in The Grove so that our students could take part and experience the ceremony process.

The service was conducted by The Revd. Canon Philip Brent, the vicar in charge at St Lawrence’s Church in Scunthorpe.

Having already recived level 1,2 and 3 the students that have been studying horticulture have now been awarded RHS level 4 in schools gardening. This is a fantastic achievment. Students have been utilising the new flower and vegetable trugs in The Grove and we all look forward to seeing the changes happening in them each day.

We held our Easter fayre on the 4th April 2025 and welcomed our parents carers into school. We raised an incredible amount of money from the stalls our students ran and the bake for Bendrigg sale for FOSH who shared the below:
