On Monday, 54 dancers represented Barnwood Park at the regional heats of the Great Big Dance Off at The Forum, Bath. We entered two pieces: our KS3 team performed a Sister Act medley, while our KS4 team performed a routine inspired by Stranger Things. We are thrilled to share that both of our teams qualified for the National Championships, which will be held in June! The dancers' success is a testament to their hard work and dedication leading up to the competition. Their choreographies were fantastically performed, and we are immensely proud of the personality and talent our students shine with on stage. We look forward to beginning our training for the national championships next week. Miss Saunders and Miss Knight

Term 5 has seen us kick off our Athletics programme in both curriculum PE lessons and extracurricular sessions. Athletics club has been extremely well attended, with over 50 students joining us in both sessions! Students have the opportunity to develop their technique and achieve new personal bests across all events, including sprints, middle-distance running, jumping, and throwing. We look forward to seeing you there every Thursday until 4:15 pm.

Our Year 10 Geography students were out in the Forest of Dean this week, putting their skills to the test with a hands-on river investigation. A brilliant 2 days of fieldwork in action!
