Year 13 have been moving through their final unit on Organic Chemistry and performed a practical to extract limonene from, you’ve guessed it, oranges. (It is also in lemons, but oranges make the laboratory smell nicer!) They used simple distillation to collect the oil from the orange peel, and then performed a test to prove that it was what they expected it to be - it was.

We are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming Neurodiversity Week from March 31st to April 4th. This event is dedicated to celebrating neurodiversity, breaking down stigma, and promoting understanding within our school community.
This term, the Year 7 students are exploring the work of 19th-century Pointillist artists and learning about mark-making, focusing on the use of dots to create art.
This week, our Early Years students took their love of reading outdoors, celebrating World Book Day with a magical morning in Kiscelli Forest Park. Surrounded by nature, the children eagerly swapped books under the trees, discovering new stories and characters in the fresh air.
