Students on our Outward Bound trip will be leaving Aberdyfi at 11.30am and heading home after an exhilarating but tiring week in the the Welsh Mountains. What an an amazing experience they have had with lots of memories to bring home and share.

Braving the Elements! Some of our Year 8 students are on an Outward Bounds trip to Aberdyfi in Wales enjoying the sights and sounds of Snowdonia. They are having a great time outdoors (honestly!)

Students from Springwell attended Frederick Gent School yesterday to take part in the TTCT Varsity Chess Competition. It was great to be a part of the launch of this year’s Varsity events, and we are so looking forward to our second event in December, ‘TTCT Bake Off’.

Mrs Snowden has been blown away by the incredible quality of the Summer Homework handed in by our brilliant Year 7's. From creative projects, to thoughtful writing and beautifully presented work. The effort, imagination and dedication on display has been outstanding.

We're delighted another student has earned themselves ‘Super Reader’ status. Congratulations and well done to Levi who has read all ten books on the Year 7 reading list this academic year. It’s a wonderful achievement that demonstrates our core values of commitment and ambition.

Chloe Long has lost her smile. She's looked everywhere for it. She's tried everything to bring it back, but nothing seems to be working! Until one night, something utterly magical happens - and Chloe finds herself on an adventure that is out of this world...

Christopher discovers Archipelago: a cluster of magical islands where all the creatures of myth still live. There he meets Mal, a girl from the islands who is being pursued by a killer. Together they embark on a quest to discover why the creatures are suddenly perishing.

16 year old Evangeline has been dead for decades. Her accidental demise secures her a spot on Cloud Nine, the luxurious top tier of the Afterlife - but it turns out that even paradise can get boring and the would-be guardian angel starts to fall in love with a living boy.

We were both honoured and humbled to be invited by the Staveley Branch of the Royal British Legion to attend their service to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. It was a very moving ceremony and students Ellie, Daisy and Angel gave a short reading and laid a wreath. #VEDay

Year 8 are on a boat off the coast of France, learning about ocean life. But things are about to get WEIRD . . . Who is the creepy man on board the ship? And what IS the vast, shadowy creature seen lurking at the bottom of the ocean?

Congratulations to our latest Super Reader - Year 7 student, Willow. We are extremely pleased and proud of the ambition, drive and commitment you have demonstrated in order to accomplish this. Well done Willow! #smashingit

What a fabulous day we had last week when author and film maker Matt Dickinson visited us for World Book Week. His workshops were brilliant, & he kept students enthralled with stories of his adventures & explorations of Everest & Antarctica, both of which have inspired his books.
