M demonstrating his brilliant ice skating skills during enrichment! Our students get so much out of new opportunities and love embracing new experiences ⛸️👍 #thisisap

KS3 had a brilliant English lesson today. They used modelling clay as part of an autobiography unit. They created a visual of their 'likes' and personal spaces on the theme of 'Me, Myself and I.' It was brilliant to see such creativity from our students, well done! #thisisap

Students showed fantastic team work and cooperation today during PE. It is a brilliant way for students to build social skills and learn to win and lose in healthy competition #thisisap

Absolutely gorgeous 'dinosaur egg' created by M in Year 10. Her colour blending was inspired by Henri Rousseau and she used meta-thinking to apply painting skills to coloured pens! All on a goose egg. What a Monday #thisisAP
