A busy week as ever at Duke’s.

Our year 7 challenge mentoring group continued their weekly mentoring sessions at Linklaters this week alongside the Eastside Employability programme through which a group of year 10 students build their CVs and skills that relate to job applications. Both programmes have been giving students some amazing new experiences and lifelong skills.

Our science and maths departments have also been busy this week with STEM activities. The maths department arranged for a number of year 8 students to go to LAET for a maths bonanza event in recognition of Maths Week. The science department also engaged with STEM activities at City Airport and through a virtual seminar relating to all things engineering. All brilliantly exciting activities.

In school this week we have also been marking the 2024 ‘Anti Bullying Week’ with the theme this year being ‘Choose respect’. Students have been engaged in assemblies and activities in their tutor time relating to this vitally important theme.
