Thursday 5 March 2026 World Book Day Before the half term we invited all students to read the brilliant "One of Us is Lying" by Karen McManus. We have since then decorated our classroom doors each as a character from the novel and we will be watching some of the series tomorrow morning to celebrate World Book Day! Staff have also been reading this book to encourage the joy of reading for pleasure, and so they can explain how they knew who had "done it" before the ending was revealed!
Thursday 8 January 2026 The Results are in at Post 16! Students that have sat November GCSE re-sits, or functional skills exams in November are today able to collect their results of these from mid-morning.

Should you have any questions or concerns about your child's report data or these results - please do not hesitate to contact us at the Post 16 Centre.
