Chemistry beyond the classroom! 🧬 Our Year 12 Chemistry students recently visited the @durhamuniversity Chemistry Department to experience degree-level laboratory work first-hand. On 24 March, students analysed drug compounds, identified unknown substances, and used advanced techniques such as Thin Layer Chromatography, Infrared Spectroscopy and melting point analysis - all within Durham's world-class labs. 🧪 From collecting and analysing real experimental data to working safely as a team, this visit offered an exciting insight into the rigour, challenge and real-world applications of studying Chemistry at University.

We would like to express our thanks to Danny from Tawd Valley Developments, Paul and Tina from @watesgroup, and Alan from Fairmac for judging the competition and providing our students with brilliant prizes.

Our talented Music students recently took to @kidderminstertownhall for a performance night inspired by their Community‑themed work units, and what a night it was! With over 100 parents, friends and members of the public joining us to celebrate, the atmosphere was electric. Six bands performed 3-4 songs each, showcasing their creativity, teamwork and musical skills. And to finish, every student took to the stage together for a final group performance! #MusicStudents #NCGCommunity #LivePerformance #KidderminsterTownHall #TeamKC

Our Sport and Uniformed Services students took on an exciting challenge at the University of Worcester’s Lakeside campus! 🌊💪 From canoeing and kayaking to putting their skills to the test with raft building, it was a day full of action and adventure. For our Uniformed Services group, this trip formed part of their outdoor water sports unit and practical assessment, while also building essential teamwork, communication, and leadership skills along the way. Despite the wind and chilly weather, spirits stayed high and everyone had an amazing time!👏 @worcester_uni #OutdoorLearning #SportStudents #UniformedServices #NCGCommunity
