Professionals Week is well underway in the Health and Social Care Department with some fantastic talks by a practising GP, Senior Mental Health Clinician, Consultant Midwife and Paediatric Nurse. Students have had a wonderful insight into these professions and had the opportunity to ask some excellent questions.
Well done Year 12 and many thanks to all involved.
The Health and Social Care Department
Our year 12 BRILLIANT BIOLOGISTS are investigating the respiration rate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast). Students have researched, planned, and developed these investigations independently and are now carrying out their prior testing. Students will complete their practical work and then write a scientific report based upon their findings.
Well done year 12!
As part of the Y12 Work Experience week, Sophie Storer and Tegan Smith have taken on the role of Artist in Residence within the Technology Department. During the week they were commissioned to create a design to promote the subjects Food, Graphics and Textiles. Their designs were developed into a mural, spanning over 10m in length. Their creative design clearly identifies the subjects and now painted onto the wall creates a huge impact on the corridor. The Technology department have been delighted by the way in which both students took on the challenge, working well as a team, presenting their ideas successfully to the department and showing determination to meet the deadline set.
A fantastic effort – Well Done.
Members of the Year 12 well-being team were approached by the Long Itchington pre school to restyle their shed.
The girls have started painting the background Today ready to get the design on next week- check back next week for the finished product!

We’ve been so impressed by the creativity and analytical thinking already on display!
Infectious fun!
This week the Year 12 Health & Social Care classes studied the spread of bacteria which can lead to various Infections, specifically investigating infection control in Hospitals.

Year 12 have started their Year 13 work and have been back in the classroom looking at the science behind Aeration. They conducted an experiment to investigate what happens when you whisk egg whites with and without cream of tarter. The results were fascinating. They then went onto make some amazing Pavlovas using their new found science knowledge.
Enjoy!
