Wow! What an amazing session with Premier League Referee Farah Halam! The pupils were exposed to careers in football, life as a referee and taught to think about the decisions they make, how to self-reflect, their personal brand and how to park situations when things go wrong. 70% of the pupils got the penalty decision wrong too! Thanks to Farah and @pref for giving up his time to speak to our Year 10s. An incredible Industry Insight session! @proref

Day 1 of the Year 11 Food NEA. Sadly, we can't share photos of the finished products (exam regulations) but we can vouch for the fact it was technically brilliant and looked and tasted amazing. Well done to all the staff and pupils. Good luck for day 2.
