We hope you are having a lovely half-term. Don't forget that the secondary school application process closes on 31st October 2026.
We'd love for your child to join us at YBE in September. A school where your child will be nurtured to reach their full potential, where our previous learners have left to pursue a variety of pathways including: apprenticeships, Oxbridge, vocational courses, A levels and employment... just to mention a few!

An amazing 50 students headed out in October to complete their Silver DofE Training Expedition.

They faced challenging weather, forged new friendships and overcame many obstacles. We're so proud of our thriving DofE programme and really see the benefit in our students' confidence, resilience and independence as they progress through the award.

If any students in Year 9 or above want to take part or find out more about DofE please see Dr James after half term.

The A-Level Sociology LINC trip to Shrewsbury Prison took place on Wednesday 21st, October.

The pupils received a guided tour around the prison, engaged with a self-discovery task and had the opportunity to complete an escape room. Well done to our Year 13 pupils who managed to escape!

The pupil's level of engagement and behaviour was excellent throughout the whole day.

Da iawn!
