16+ Alumni Event
On Wednesday, 17th December 2025, we welcomed 16+ alumni back into Sixth Form where they shared their experiences, expertise and inspiration with our current Sixth Formers.
This was following Year 13 Reward Assembly, pictured here, where we celebrated the brilliant achievements of our current Sixth Formers.
Interested in the Army?
We have several residential placements at Chetwynd Barracks, Chilwell for students interested in experiencing what life is like in the Army. The Army has several opportunities for people beyond serving, such as traineeships and apprenticeships.
To take part you must be at least 14 and under 18 during the placements.
The current dates for the residential are below:
18th – 21st May 2026
22nd – 25th June 2026
21st – 24th September 2026
12th – 15th October 2026
16th – 19th November 2026
As this is a residential opportunity, you will need to speak to your parent(s) or guardian(s) about the placement. After that, please ask home to email me to confirm that you are able to take one of the spots and I will print the consent form for you.
There are 10 places maximum per week and other schools are also after some of the other spaces, so if you are interested, get in touch as soon as you can as we can secure a spot for you.
Finally, we may need to change selected weeks if you have assessments happening as it is vital you are in school to complete these.
