Today our A-Level Media Studies students took part in their second BFI online event.
They explored key gender theory from Judith Butler and bell hooks, diving into patriarchy, gender performativity and intersectional feminism through an engaging mix of clips, discussion and interactive activities.
It was a fantastic session that brought complex ideas to life and sparked thoughtful conversation across the group.

The Year 8 STEM Horizons group have had an eye opening visit to Peacehaven Wastewater Treatment Works. They learnt about the various stages that wastewater is processed before witnessing this impressively designed facility in action returning water to the environment. They also acted as town planners and investigated the best methods for supporting the slow return of water to the sewers.

Last week some of our students were lucky enough to watch the on-screen performance of Prima Facie, which was playing at The Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury.
Prima Facie is a powerful one-woman show starring Jodie Comer who plays Tessa Ensler, a working-class barrister who defends men accused of sexual assault, only for her world to shatter when she is sexually assaulted by a colleague. The play explores the trauma, victim-blaming, and the harsh realities of the criminal justice system from the inside.
We would like to thank The Marlowe Theatre for providing access to the show, what a fantastic opportunity for our students!

TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
2026 marks 115 years of IWD.
For more than a century, IWD has helped drive transformative change. Each generation has built on the courage of those before it, pushing boundaries and redefining what is possible. Today, IWD serves as a popular mainstream moment that celebrates the social, economic, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for advancing gender equality worldwide. IWD is a worldwide movement belonging to all groups, everywhere. Make it your day!

On Tuesday 26th February, we welcomed Year 12 students and their families to our annual “Life After 6th Form” information evening.
The University of Kent began the event with an insightful session on the value and benefits of Higher Education. This was followed by Chris Targett from CXK, who shared a comprehensive and engaging overview of Post 18 pathways and key application timelines.
The key takeaway: Year 12 is the most important year for exploring options and carrying out research.
Thank you to all who attended and to our guest speakers for their valuable guidance.
