The assembly hall was buzzing with energy and anticipation recently as our newest cohort of Year 7 pupils gathered for a special event marking the beginning of their digital learning journey. In a ceremony filled with excitement and smiles, each student was presented with their very own iPad — a powerful tool that will support their education both in the classroom and at home.

The event was led by Mr Lloyd, who, alongside a team of senior pupils, helped distribute the devices to the eager Year 7s. The atmosphere was electric as students unboxed their iPads, exploring the sleek design and imagining the possibilities ahead. From interactive lessons and research projects to creative assignments and revision tools, these devices are set to become an integral part of their learning experience.

Teachers and staff watched with pride as the youngest members of the school community embraced this milestone. The initiative reflects the school’s commitment to integrating technology into education and ensuring that every student has access to the resources they need to succeed.

It was heartwarming to witness the joy and enthusiasm on the faces of our Year 7 pupils. Their excitement was contagious, and it’s clear that this moment will be remembered as a highlight of their first term. As they settle into secondary school life, these iPads will serve as companions on their academic journey — empowering them to learn, explore, and achieve.
