✨ Harry Potter Week in the Reading Hub! 🪄
To celebrate World Book Day, the Reading Hub has transformed into Hogwarts for the whole week. Students are exploring reading in a magical way - using their phonological skills to decode spell incantations and even practising with wands!
Using the ‘Revelio’ charm, students are also learning how to uncover hidden meaning in texts and infer what an author is implying.
And the magic isn’t over yet…
A small surprise will appear in the Reading Hub tomorrow for our students! 📚
Yesterday our students took part in interviews with the Southampton Cultural Education Partnership (SCEP) for an exciting Creative Work Experience Week taking place this July at the Mayflower Theatre.
A big thank you to Southampton Cultural Education Partnership , Mayflower Theatre, Turner Sims , and Southampton & Isle of Wight Music Service for giving our students the opportunity to explore careers in the arts and creative industries.

Who needs Marvel when you’ve got Year 7? 💥
Our Year 7 girls were challenged to choose a TV show or superhero and create a small team performance - fearless all round!
So, not all heroes wear capes… some wear Cantell PE kit 😁

Fantastic Achievement in Latin! 🤩
Huge congratulations to Freddie in Year 9, who has been named a category winner in the international Suburani Build It 2026 competition, run by Hands Up Education .
Freddie impressed the judges with his detailed digital reconstruction of a Roman insula, creatively using digital Lego to bring ancient history to life. His work stood out for the depth of research and attention to historical detail - a brilliant example of academic excellence!
We are incredibly proud of you, Freddie - what a well-deserved success! 👏✨
