As part of an exciting Year 10 careers trip, students visited Gatwick Airport to explore the wide range of career opportunities available in the aviation industry. The day began with an engaging talk from engineers working at the airport, who shared insights into the complex world of airport construction and infrastructure. Students learned about the continuous expansion of Gatwick and the engineering challenges involved in maintaining and developing such a busy transport hub. One fascinating fact that stood out was that Gatwick is the busiest single-runway airport in the UK, with a flight taking off or landing every 90 seconds - a testament to the precision and coordination required to keep the airport running smoothly.

During the Spring term, some of our fantastic Year 7 and amazing Year 12 Reading Ambassadors met weekly to enjoy reading and being together.

New friendships were formed amidst the joy of reading.

The students also enjoyed a celebration breakfast together at school before travelling to Crawley Library for an informative and fun time finding out what happens behind the scenes and about library career path opportunities.
