This week, our star pupils enjoyed some delicious chocolate goodies with Mr Heath, Deputy Headteacher, for their fantastic contribution in the JTMAT Subject Excellence competitions for Art and Maths.
The Subject Excellence competitions are open to all students across the John Taylor Multi-Academy Trust and provide an opportunity for pupils to complete a task set by subject specialist teachers.
The brief for the Art competition was to create a piece of artwork that conveyed a message linking it to the Trust’s core values. Pupils got the option to choose the media they would like to use, the size, the shape and how they would like to interpret the value. Additionally, Raj Dhunna a professional illustrator was involved in judging the competition. The winners of the competition also got the opportunity to meet Raj at an exclusive finalist’s event and workshop.
Congratulations to Bethan P who was named as the winner.
Well done to the participants; Martha L, Rabia W, Jack S, Aisha S, Amelia N, Lotty M, Sophie M, Daisy H, Ffion F, Joshua D, Dylan C, Emilia B, Alice R, Andrei A.
The brief for the Maths competition was to create a Music Festival taking into consideration planning, timings, budgets and presenting them in a mathematical way. Mr Corbett was very impressed with our pupils and wanted to give extra recognition to them at ‘Hot Chocolate with the Head’.
Congratulations to the winners; William G who was commended for his use of Technology and to Oscar W for being the overall winner in the Secondary School Category.
Well done to the participants; Oliver W, Isaac B, Jack S
