CREATIVES ACADEMY PILOT PROJECT

Just before October half term form 7M visited Wentworth Woodhouse to launch the Creatives Academy pilot project. Our students met and had presentations from members of the team that work tirelessly to ensure the house and grounds continue to be the fantastic community asset and brilliant visitor experience that it is. From the CEO to the Head Gardener every student got to ask questions about their roles and route into that career. There were presentations from Marketing, Operations and Catering and it really gave them some thoughts about how many opportunities there are in the Heritage Sector.
OUR BEST GCSE RESULTS EVER

On Thursday 25th August 2022 Year 11 students received their GCSE examination results. This year’s results were our BEST EVER and we are so proud of the achievements of our Year 11 students. A massive well done to all. On results day we had Look North (see video) in school to capture the moment when students received and opened their results. It was a fantastic atmosphere with lots of students celebrating their brilliant results. Year 11 students worked so hard over the course of their final year and it certainly paid off come results day. We would like to wish all Year 11 students all the best for their Post-16 provision and destinations.

This month we have been really pleased to be able to hold our Mock Interview Day event with our Y10 cohort. This is such an important experience for our students as they prepare to go into Y11 and onto their many destinations after they leave Horizon. All Y10’s were asked to prepare a CV and submit to the Careers Team before the event. There were some really great examples of what a great CV looks like.
