Computer Science students create Treatment Tracker site for COVID-19

Mr Taylor, Subject Leader of Computing, is delighted to share news from two GCSE Computer Science students, Matthew Warminger and James Dolan. The Year 11 students  have  created a website dedicated to tracking the progress of research into the development of vaccines in respect of the COVID-19 virus. The students decided to set up the site, along with friend Hamza, to focus on a positive outcome to the pandemic. Their site is a comprehensive dashboard including features such as the continuous monitoring of the development of vaccines,  progress bars which are updated live for each treatment and a map to track the location and time of research for vaccines and treatments. The site also includes other statistics such as the total number of  global cases and countries affected by the Coronavirus.  The team aim to maintain the site and keep it updated until the pandemic resolves and a vaccine is found.

Well done to the team for their fantastic effort in using their skills to focus on positive outcomes for ongoing research into the COVID-19 virus.  We will follow your site with great interest to find out about the latest research.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
