  • National CANSAT Final

    Published 09/05/25

    Year 10 Students Shine in National CANSAT Final

    We are incredibly proud of our Year 10 team, The Sat-Elites, who represented our school in the national final of the prestigious CANSAT UK competition. Out of approximately 300 teams from across the country, only 9 made it through to the final stage — a remarkable achievement in itself.

    After months of dedication and teamwork, The Sat-Elites successfully designed, built, and launched a mini satellite, impressing judges with their scientific skill and innovative thinking.

    In recognition of their outstanding efforts, the students have also been awarded the Industrial Cadets Gold Award by the Engineering Development Trust — a nationally respected honour celebrating high levels of achievement in STEM.

    “I’m so proud of what our students have achieved,” said Mr Brown, their teacher. “They overcame every challenge thrown at them with resilience and ingenuity, and truly demonstrated what young scientists are capable of.”

    Congratulations to the whole team on this outstanding accomplishment — a true testament to their hard work and passion for STEM!

    We’re excited to announce that we’ll be entering the CANSAT competition again in 2025, and recruitment for next year’s team will begin shortly. Watch this space!

  • The Highs and Lows of Football

    Published 06/05/25

    Unfortunately, both of our football teams lost in their finals at Sandbach United. The Year 7 Girls were 1-0 up with 1 minute to play and conceded to take it to penalties where Congleton won 5-4. In the Year 11 Boys match, an extremely strong Alsager beat us 5-2 . All the students were a credit to the school and very gracious in defeat. Well done - we are really proud of you all.

  • Boys Football Success

    Published 01/05/25

    Our Year 11 Boys Football team have made us proud. They won their Cheshire cup semi-final against Shavington on penalties. The score was 1-1 after full time, our goal coming from Nic and then we went on to win 4-3 on pens. All the boys were a credit to the school and demonstrated resilience as we missed the first penalty in the shootout. Year 10 Luca saved Shavingtons second penalty and then stepped up to smash home our third pen. Good luck for the finals for Year 11 Boys and Year 7 Girls at Sandbach United. We are all rooting for you.

     A massive well done to all the students who performed last night at the Spring showcase. The standard of talent was unbelievable. 

    The choir was a particular highlight with their rendition of Life on Mars? brought the show to a close in spectacular fashion.

    Particular thanks go to the music team for giving students the opportunity to shine.

  • New York Trip - February 2025

    Published 28/02/25

    Over February half-term, a group of Year 11 and 13 students went on the trip of a lifetime, spending 4 days in New York City! Almost two years in the planning, this was a cultural and enrichment trip aimed at broadening students' horizons, and acting as a reward for exemplary behaviour and attitude to learning over a long period of time.

    The trip was organised and led by Mr Batty, with expert support from Mr Harrison, Mrs Edwards and Mrs Kirk-Bradshaw (whose previous job as a flight attendant came in very handy as we made our way to JFK from Manchester, via Amsterdam!).

    In our brief time in the Big Apple we crammed so many things in! Highlights included:

    • Visits to the Top of the Rock and Empire State Building observation decks

    • Walking the Brooklyn Bridge

    • A reflective and respectful visit to the 9/11 Museum and Memorial

    • Ice Skating at Bryant Park

    • A walking tour of Central Park

    • Lots of shopping and eating experiences

    • A trip on the Staten Island Ferry, where we finally got a brilliant view of the Statue of Liberty

    The trip was a massive success, and hopefully one that students will remember forever. Feedback from students and families has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are already thinking about planning the next one!

    Every single student on the trip was a pleasure to spend half-term with: they were a credit to themselves, their families and the school.

    Mr Batty
