Our final Personal Development day of the year took place last Thursday. As part of their Health and Safety day, Y8 looked at germs and how they can spread, then they designed their own!

Year 10 had the opportunity on Personal Development Day to experience taster sessions at Farnham, Guildford and Merrist Wood colleges. They took part in a great variety of subjects, giving them lots to think about when applying for colleges next year.

Our Cadets had a fantastic time at central camp last week. They received medals for coming 2nd in Drill and 3rd in the Command Task. Well done to all the cadets for their excellent behaviour and positivity throughout a tiring week and thanks to the staff who also attended camp.
