    • Year 11 Geography Field Trip

      Published 21/02/23

      On the 23rd of January, Year 11 geography students, wrapped in about 50 layers of clothing, embarked on their second field trip. This was to gather data to analyse in our GCSE paper which discusses Geography around the UK. We explored the small, rural village of Berinsfield, a quaint, nucleated, commuter settlement situated just 13.1km away from the urban hub of Oxford. 

      We left Kendrick just after registration, and hopped on coaches which took us to Berinsfield. Once at the village, our coach-driver took us on a whistle-stop tour (with our Geography teachers doing amazing voiceovers) of the village, circling the sites we would gather data from. We had a particularly interesting insight, Berinsfield being the area Mrs Dunlop grew up in- we were even able to see her primary school!

The aim of the flight simulator is to give people of all abilities access to the world of flying and aviation.

    • Poetry Live 2023

      Published 02/02/23

      On Wednesday the 25th January, Year 11 students were lucky enough to go to the Hexagon on a fantastic trip to see Poetry Live, organised by the English Department.

      We left school after Period 1 and walked to the Hexagon with our teachers. At the Hexagon we were given booklets with the poems from the GCSE anthologies, centred around love, war, nature and relationships, and also some information about each poet we were going to hear from. We were very privileged, as these people included award-winning poets Daljit Nagra, Carol Ann Duffy, Imtiaz Dharker, Owen Sheers and John Agard as well as the current Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage!
