Welcome to the KS3 Notices Page

I'm Miss Gibbs, most of you will know who I am as you will have seen me when I visited your primary schools and when you visited school for Taster Day. You may even be lucky enough to have me as a teacher every week.

  Year 7 - I hope you have all settled in well and made lots of new friends.

 Year 8 - I hope you have made a great start to your new academic year.

Project Based Learning

Part of the year 7 curriculum is made up of something called PBL (Project Based Learning). These lessons are made up of Art, Drama, Music, Geography and History and all year 7 students do projects in all of these subjects that link together.

This year students have visited local communities and churches, had a history walk around Horbury and had a day each at Coxley Woods and The National Coal Mining Museum.
