Gunwharf Quays Trip On Thursday 2nd March the Year 10 Geography students went to Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth as part of their GCSE course. The students were looking at whether Gunwharf Quays had any influence over the immediate area. The students collected some thorough data and have since devised some very insightful conclusions about the influence a shopping centre can have on people. The students also very much enjoyed the shopping!

Year 10 Worldwide Quiz Back in December, four of the Year 10 Geography students took part in the Hampshire World Wide Quiz. It was an incredibly hard quiz but the boys rose to the occasion and ended up coming a respectable 5th out of 9 schools from across Hampshire. See how you would fare... Below are three of the hardest questions the boys had to face: 1 - How many school meals are served per day across 550 schools? 2 - How many miles of road does Hampshire have? 3 - Roughly how many million cruise passengers per year have Southampton as their preferred choice of port for cruise holidays?

RE - In The News A fascinating opportunity arose at Winchester University this half term for our Year 10 students! Students had the appealing chance to experience life as university students, where they attended a variety of different lectures on subjects ranging from ‘Morality’ to ‘the meaning of Religious Art’. Joined by Mr Spencer and Mr Pine, the school even won the quiz at the end of the day and beat the other schools that were attending the event! Well done to all those who attended. It was a fantastic day out that the RE department is keen to repeat in the future!
