EBP South Amazing People Awards 2018

 

 

This year we, as a school, were lucky enough to be nominated for the category of Outstanding School for Careers Education. While we did not win it was inspiring to see the work that other schools in our locality put into careers education.

 

 

One of our 2018 Year 11 pupils was also nominated in the category of Outstanding Pupil for Work Experience. We are proud to announce that Fred was successful in winning his category and attended the awards ceremony this week.

Fred attended an extended placement at Attitude Cycles, Southampton and learnt many useful life and work skills. They encouraged and guided Fred and our thanks go to them for their support and offer of a work experience placement. The skills that Fred learnt have aided him in his successful transition to Southampton City College where he is having great success.

Our thanks go to Attitude Cycles and congratulations to Fred for his achievement. We are all very proud.

As part of our PiXL Edge sessions at Morris House the pupils wanted to do a challenge that would stretch them and test their resilience and organisational levels.

 

 

Each of the 3 pupils had a different project and worked independently. It was great to see the pupils concentrating and engaged in their own projects and encouraging each other.

 

Hopefully pictures of the completed projects will appear soon.

Pupils at Morris House have a varied curriculum and life skills is a big part of that. Our pupils have weekly Food Tech lessons both on the main school site and at Morris House.

 

Below are pictures of 2 of our pupils cooking home made kebabs. They tell me they tasted delicious, so delicious that they wouldn't share!!

Keeping the House Tidy

 

 

Pupils at Morris House this week took it upon themselves to tidy their environment.

 

The pupils were measuring the car park as a part of their Maths lesson and noticed quite a few leaves around so got to sweeping.

 

3 bags of leaves went to the compost heap and the car park was tidy and clear.
