Towards the end of the term, our community has been busy collecting food bank donations ahead of the Easter break.

Lots of food, toiletries and Easter eggs have been donated to John Storer House, Junction Church and The Friary Drop-in. With the need for food banks and donation centres rising in the UK, services such as these are essential in local communities. Huge thanks go to all our staff and pupils for their contributions.

We had some special visitors to our Beast Club from Kindergarten @lborofairfield this term. 

Home to an exciting collection of animals, including stick insects, cockroaches, a ball python, geckos, tree frogs and a bearded dragon, the club aims to spark curiosity and inspire a love of Biology. Each animal has its own name, character and personality, giving pupils a wonderful chance to connect with living creatures in a purposeful way.

Open to boys from Year 6 through to Year 13, our older students play a key role in leading sessions, mentoring younger members and developing valuable leadership and organisational skills. 

All pupils get the opportunity to take responsibility each week for feeding, cleaning and caring for the animals. This engagement is essential; not only does it help build independence and teamwork, but it also enables us to maintain the high standard of care required for our animals throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of the commitment shown by our pupils and grateful for their role in helping our department thrive.

Exam season is fast approaching and staff have been busy helping the boys with their revision. They have been given access to a guide on effective learning and revision put together by a range of our specialist staff. Here are their top tips: 

📑 Revision should be active, not passive. If there's no visible output from revision, it is not effective.

🧠 Retrieval strategies are crucial - notes must be turned into something else. Think flash cards and mind maps which can be used to test recall of information.

⌚  Short chunks, not long stints. Aim for 60-minute blocks, split into two 25-minute stints. Set a timer, then repeat.

🛌 Plan short rest breaks into your revision timetable and be sure to get enough sleep.

📴 Reduce distractions by putting devices away.

Huge congratulations go to our U18 senior boys’ basketball team who secured the Leicestershire County title with an impressive 53-43 victory in the county final 🏆 The win marks a significant milestone for the team, who have reclaimed the title as Sixth Form students, having previously lifted the same trophy in 2024 as Year 11 pupils.

Beyond the result itself, the achievement reflects the wider value of basketball within the School’s sporting provision. The sport fosters key transferable skills including communication, strategic thinking, resilience and the ability to perform under pressure – qualities that extend well beyond the court and support pupils in their academic and personal development.

📸Specific parental permissions have been obtained for the use of these images on the School's social media and website.

Year 8 and Year 9 Drama pupils from @lborohigh and @lborogrammar  enjoyed a visit from the Theatre Centre performing My Brother's a Genius. It explores themes of neuro diversity, family and being a teenager. Combining poetry, grime and dance, this explosive new play took them through family struggles, neurodiversity and the weight of expectations. It’s a story about learning to fall, fail and find our own ways to fly.
