Bayside were approached by Bishop Fitzgerald to work on this project. Bishop Fitzgerald had an internal competition where the students had to design a well-being bench. A winner was selected from each year group - years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Our A-Level art students then recreated each of the winning designs on a bench.
It was lovely to work with our colleagues in Bishop Fitzgerald and for our students to showcase their work.

I would like to thank all the parents and pupils for attending our options talk and the attached subjects fair. We hope it was useful to our students and helps them make the best possible choices.

Many of you attended the open evening on revision and study tips. Please find a pdf of the presentation attached here.

There were some amazing creations from our Year 7s. They have been studying medieval castles and they were tasked with building models and trying to incorporate all the different things they had learned about the castles. It was great to see so many of the castles' features incorporated in the models.

Well done to the students and their teachers!

It was difficult to make a choice but in the end it was:
1st Lauren Montado
2nd Ashton Balloqui
3rd John Tinnion

History students who had received the students of the month award went on a guided trip to the Northern Defences. It was a great morning out!

It is wonderful to see our students volunteer to be ambassadors for GibSams. They have lots of ideas which they are keen to share and great enthusiasm. Thank you and well done!

During the last few days of term 1 we set up the static bikes and attempted to cycle the distant to lapland. This year we had much encouragement from our younger students!

​Thank you everyone for all the support.

Who thought paper aeroplanes could be so much fun!
The science department organised  this as part of our end of term fun. The students designed their planes and then competed against each other to see which plane could go furthest.
