On Thursday 19th September we celebrated Victory Day; the ninth anniversary of our official opening!
Throughout the day students took part in a variety of active sessions including football, basketball, benchball and tug-of-war.
Students were with different departments doing activities based around Arts, Naval and Thinking. Year 7 were with English and Art doing a children's book project, illustrating animals and creating a story for their characters. They also welcomed illustrator and author Georgina Golding who talked about her books and art style. Year 8 worked with Humanities and Modern Foreign Languages on an exciting project about the Battle of Trafalgar. Year 9 took part in Maths and DT activities creating 3D shapes and structures, and Year 10 did practical sessions with the Science department involving forensics, aviation design, the marble challenge and an escape room. Year 11 spent the day in workshops about careers, wellbeing and learning valuable revision methods.
In the evening our guests were invited for a celebration where we took the opportunity to show off the talent our Victory Family has to offer. There was a showcase of students’ work from the day, and performances in the Quarterdeck from our Performing Arts students. The celebration continued with a sit-down meal in the Galley, which included a selection of delicious desserts all prepared by our GCSE Food students!
