THE PAVILION

I'm sure you will have noticed that there are some major changes taking place down at the pavilion! The work on the Pavilion is continuing through the Easter holidays - here are some photos of the work so far. It looks exciting!

This week's news - Monday 23rd March

Last week was all about the eclipse - I hope that you got chance to see it! Check out the photo gallery for more pictures of the event!

This week there are no scientific phenomena, but there is still plenty going on!

Monday is adapted Secure where we will all be working on aspects of the newly launched Parklands 5 Ps. Look at the 5Ps page for information and pictures from the day. 

Monday also sees the inter school STEM challenge. 

On Tuesday several of our Year 10 pupils will go on an MFL trip to Manchester University.

On Wednesday lots of our Year 10s will head off on the Battlefields trip - most students will remember this for the rest of their lives.

There are GCSE art and photography exams all week, and trackers go home for all years on Friday.

Phew - a busy week!

Enjoy the Easter break, and we will update you in two weeks time!

This week, we might be discussing what colour our uniform is - blue or white and gold? The internet has been full of the dress, but do you know the science behind it?

Year 7 are in for some fun on Thursday - they are off to Brockholes for their Enrichment day. let's cross our fingers for good weather, or it could be a muddy day!
