World Book Day 2024

Pupils and staff once again enjoyed World Book Day by dressing up with some excellent outfits for the ever-popular Best Costume contest, ranging from a terrifying Maleficent to a miserly Scrooge. 

During the Read Your Way-themed all-day event, pupils enjoyed listening to extracts from books linked to their subjects and then completing World Book Day activities on the topic. During Geography, they worked together to plot the journey from the extract on a map. Then, in English, pupils had fun completing a Murdle puzzle and designing their dream school library. 

The day was rounded off with a competitive virtual quiz. At Stansted, year 5 won a confident victory and - after a tie-break between year 10 and year 8 - year 10 claimed the prize at Wrotham.

Remembrance November 2023

Every year, the pupils and staff mark Remembrance with a number of activities and crafts, and this year has been no different.

Pupils at the Wrotham site have made an incredible display for our foyer, with the Animal Care pupils focussing on the impact that animals have had in the conflict, and remembering them with the purple poppy.

 

                   

 

World Mental Health Day

This year for World Mental Health Day, we took part in three initiatives to promote well-being for our students. This is really important for our pupils as we know that young people’s mental health is a priority in the current climate. Grange Park ensures pupils mental health and well-being is supported throughout the academic year through their lessons and through initiatives such as this.

We reminded pupils about the ‘Five Ways to Well-being’ – Connecting, Learning, Being Active, Giving and Taking Notice and encouraged pupils to make a pledge to try something new to improve their wellbeing.

We encouraged pupils to take part in ‘Britain Get Talking’ initiative, which is a campaign with ITV where pupils were encouraged to take time to talk to people at home about their worries.

Finally, pupils took part in ‘Take 10 to read’ where pupils were given an opportunity during their English lessons to immerse themselves in a book or magazine of their choice.

 

Reach for the Stars!

To celebrate the end of another great year, the Grange Park staff say 'Reach for the stars'!

Post 16 Apprenticeship Fair - 10th March 2023

As part of Grange Park's commitment to supporting the career choices of our pupils, Years 10 and 11 visited the Apprenticeship Fair at Mote Park to find out more about career opportunities at Post16.

The event, which is organised by six Kent MP's including Tom Tugendhat MP and Tracey Crouch MP who visited the school recently, allowed the pupils to speak to a wide range of employers to find out about all the different types of jobs in their organisations.

The event for schools in Kent was extremely well attended. The pupils found the event exciting and helpful with one pupil saying 'it is so good to be able to speak with employers, better than looking on their website'

The event also supported the pupils progress with their SCERT's targets especially with dealing with the busy environment and their communication with the employers. 

 

    

 

World Book Day 2023

Definitely dressed to impress, students and staff once again dazzled at World Book Day in some seriously superb outfits. From the White Witch to a spooky Ghost of Christmas Future, there was a perfect parade of fictional characters all competing for the coveted Best Costume competitions. 

During the adventure-themed, all-day event, students also enjoyed a talk from a graphic novel artist and then had the chance to work together to create their own action-packed comics. 

The day was rounded off with a typically hotly-contested Zoom quiz. At Stansted, Year 7 scooped the top prize while Year 10 narrowly secured victory at Wrotham.
