 We have joined forces with BBC Coventry & Warwickshire in the campaign to fund a nurse for Myton Hospice. We are asking everyone in school to bring in at least one item that the Myton Hospice could sell on. This is the final push to collect between now and Monday 30th January.
The slogan is 'Don't Dump it!Donate it!' so if you have anything at all (new or nearly new) that could be sold please send it in with your son or daughter.

Lecture Launches Physics Unit For Year 10 |
|
Monday, 23 January 2012 10:09 |

On Thursday, year 10 students were lucky enough to have a guest lecture from Mr Bonella of the Institute of Physics. Demonstrations of different areas of physics were aided by willing volunteers, and the audience was invited to explain why these effects occur. Mr Bonella was kind enough to run the session twice, once to each half of the year during their normal science lesson time.
Students got to see how physics relates to the real world around them, launching them into the Core GCSE Physics unit they have begun studying in lessons.
Many thanks to staff and students for welcoming our guest and lending us their lesson time!
