Year 9 F1 Engineering Club Visits DK Engineering

On Wednesday 8th January, Mr Miall led the school’s Year 9 F1 Engineering Club on a very special, albeit short, journey. The group travelled just "down the road" to visit our neighbours, DK Engineering, a world-renowned specialist in automotive restoration and sales.

Despite being located right next to the school, the facility opens up a global world of high-performance machinery. DK Engineering is internationally recognised for their expertise in blue-chip collector cars, with a particular focus on Ferrari.

The visit provided our aspiring engineers with a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at high-end automotive engineering. Pupils were able to see first-hand the level of precision, skill and mechanical knowledge required to restore and maintain some of the most valuable cars in the world. From the workshops to the showroom, the group learned how mechanical theory is applied in a premier professional environment. It was wonderful for our pupils to discuss a variety of Engineering Careers with staff at DK.

It was an inspiring afternoon that showcased the incredible engineering opportunities that exist right on our doorstep. Thank you to the team at DK Engineering for welcoming us and providing the club with sponsorship throughout the year, and to Mr Miall for organising this fantastic opportunity.

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!
