Year 10 GCSE Textiles students have learned to develop decorative techniques in the style of Cath Kidston for their bag project, using sewing machine skills and mixed media, and a range of textile samples. Well done, the finished products look great!

Our 4X4 Engineering students have been working Period 6 on Thursdays towards the JLR 4x4 competition. Re-designing a 4x4 RC car and modifying the electronics and function of the car to a given engineering brief. It not only had to include automated warnings and lights but also tow a trailer around an obstacle course. The team went to Birmingham to compete against 18 other schools in the Development class. Out of a possible 6 awards the students walked away with The Best Engineered Car and The Best Track performance. An amazing accomplishment.
