Geography Field trip to Stratford
14 June 2024
Year 10 Geography students visited East London to investigate how the regeneration of the Olympic Park area has affected different parts of Stratford. The students did a lot of walking (11 km in fact) and visited New Town, East Village, The Olympic Park, and Hackney Wick.
They practiced a range of fieldwork techniques in order to collect data for their Human Geography investigation. These included Environmental Quality Surveys, Bi-polar analysis, and field sketching. Whilst doing questionnaire surveys in East Village (what was the Athletes Village during the Olympic Games) Mr Smith was approached by a member of the public and congratulated on how polite and well-behaved our students were. Well done boys!

We finished the term with a Tenebrae Service. After each of six readings, a candle was extinguished and the lights turned down. After the seventh reading, the candle was taken out of the chapel, leaving us in darkness and silence to reflect.#AMDG #ReadyToSetTheWorldAlight pic.twitter.com/6K9Brdb8kZ

Our Sixth Formers attended the Model United Nations conference which replicates the inner workings of the actual UN, each of them making speeches, writing resolutions and debating amendments in contemporary topics. We look forward to next year!#AMDG #ReadyToSetTheWorldAlight pic.twitter.com/A74s8B5dn7

Students spent a night sleeping out to raise money for JRS UK (Jesuit Refugee Service). They heard a talk about JRS UK, shared a simple meal and took part in prayer before settling down

We are delighted that Ofsted consider us to be outstanding in several areas.
They said that teachers "are experts in their subject and present information with absolute clarity" and students "take pride in their work".#AMDG #ReadyToSetTheWorldAlighthttps://t.co/MQe27EfryC pic.twitter.com/7remFqe4m7
