We were delighted to host our Bikers’ Breakfast, a special event celebrating and encouraging students who cycle to school. It was wonderful to see so many students arrive on two wheels, embracing healthy habits and environmentally friendly travel!

Our cyclists were welcomed with a delicious, healthy breakfast to fuel their morning, including fresh fruit, croissants, cereal and more. It was a lovely opportunity for students and staff to come together, enjoy some refreshments and share a little social time before the school day began.

The Bikers’ Breakfast is about much more than food! It’s part of our wider commitment to promoting active travel, reducing traffic congestion around the school and supporting a greener future. By choosing to cycle, our students are taking positive steps towards improving their health while helping to protect our planet.

A heartfelt JazaakAllahu Khairan to everyone who helped organise the event and to all our enthusiastic cyclists who took part. Your support helped make the morning a wonderful success!

On Monday 5th October, our new Year 7 students headed to Gilwell Park for an exciting day of team building, personal challenges and getting to know one another.

The day was packed with opportunities for students to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence and develop essential teamwork skills. They took on the challenge of Jacob’s Ladder, worked together during a range of team-building activities, and experienced the thrilling 3G Swing!

Throughout the day, students were encouraged to support one another, communicate effectively, solve problems and show resilience when faced with new challenges. It was a fantastic opportunity for our new Year 7 cohort to strengthen friendships, build trust and begin creating a strong sense of belonging within their year group.

Well done to all our Year 7 students for getting involved, supporting their peers and embracing the challenges of the day. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm and teamwork!
