Earlier this week a group of Year 7 and Year 9 students visited Tarmac's Tunstead Quarry in Buxton. The students, who are studying the impact of quarrying as part of their geography course, were able to visit this historically important quarry to deepen their understanding of the subject. Quarry employees showed the students around the site and explained the processes carried out at Tunstead. The students had an excellent afternoon and have gained valuable insight into a key aspect of their geography course.

A group of Year 10 students had a trip to Manchester yesterday afternoon to see a performance of 'Blood Brothers'. The students, who are studying the play as part of their English Literature GCSE, saw the production at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. Seeing the play performed is a valuable learning experience and they all gained a greater insight to the story as a result.
