Contagion Day - Year 10 make a plan to save humanity. Students came together this week, for our first drop-down day as part of out Project Based Learning programme. Our usual timetable was replaced by a collective effort to tackle a terrible challenge: an unprecedented outbreak of Airborne Ebola.

We are so proud of their commitment throughout the day and thankful to our business partners and speakers for creating this once-in-a-life-time opportunity for our students
