A message from the CEO, Share Multi Academy Trust
A group of Year 8 students visited the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool to consolidate their learning in history.
Year 9 students were able to discover the wide range of career opportunities that exist within the television industry when they were given a presentation by Grace Reynolds (Executive Producer) and Martha Pothen (Development Researcher) from the television production company Twofour.
Whilst many people are now able to work remotely using technology as a platform to access their work environment the same technique enabled some of our Year 10 students to engage in virtual work experience.
The end of the May half term saw the final day that our Year 11 students would be in school as a full year group and a special leavers’ assembly was held to mark their departure.
