Drama Showcase

Posted: 18th March 2026

Our recent Drama Showcase was a wonderful celebration of talent across the school. The evening was run by our Drama Captain, Sophia, a role that is a real privilege to be selected for in Year 11. As part of their role, they work with students who want to perform, supporting them through rehearsals and preparations for the showcase.

On the night, students from Years 7–11 took to the stage, performing a variety of short monologues, duologues, and a group piece from our Act-Up Drama group. The programme also included LAMDA performances and explored a wide range of genres, giving every performer a chance to shine.

It was a fantastic evening of creativity and confidence, overseen and supported by our dedicated Drama staff, and a great reminder of the vibrant performing arts community in our school.

Students first visited Malton to investigate the town’s CBD through land use surveys, pedestrian counts and environmental quality surveys.

The following day, they carried out river fieldwork along the River Derwent, collecting data on river depth, width and sediment size to just to name a few techniques used..

A brilliant opportunity to put GCSE Geography skills into practice — with plenty of teamwork and fun along the way!

This half term in science, Year 2 are learning about the needs of animals for survival. This week, we focused on birds, looking closely at their features and exploring what they need to survive.

After researching British birds, we went on a birdwatching walk around the school. The children carefully observed the birds they spotted and recorded their findings on a birdwatching sheet. We were lucky enough to spot two pheasants and a red kite. These were exciting sightings because neither bird was on our bird list!

During the activity, the children learnt how to gather and record data by completing a birdwatch. They worked carefully as scientists, using their observations to identify and record the different birds around our school. It was a lovely opportunity to take our science learning outdoors and explore the wildlife on our doorstep.
