The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a program designed to encourage and recognize young people's achievements in a range of activities, including volunteering, physical fitness, and outdoor exploration. The program is open to young people aged 14 to 24 and is divided into three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
People often hear songs and assume that they are made by “one chance in a lifetime” singers or multi-millionaire record producers, something that is unattainable for almost everybody. But this couldn’t be further from the truth, and this is something that Year 10 music students learnt recently thanks to a visit from a professional singer-songwriter.
Y11 Prince’s Trust students visited Uxbridge College on Tuesday 16th January.
Students were given a tour of the college and had talks from members of staff about the different courses and pathways.
The longest school term is drawing to an end. Days are becoming shorter. The weather is forcing us into coats, scarfs and mittens. Yet, despite all of this, the Winter Concert has never failed to warm us and energise us as music teachers!
Each year, as part of their contribution to the community and Prince's Trust programme, students are required to organise a community event. They planned a tea party for 40 senior members of our community. It was a very traditional afternoon tea of sandwiches and cake presented and served beautifully.
Y10 Prince's Trust students, with the amazing help of Safa and Aimal (Head Boy and Head Girl) successfully delivered 19 boxes full of gifts today to Hillingdon Food Bank. These gifts will be given out to families in need in the local community.
Thank you so much to everybody who donated and made this possible and to the students for sharing their experience below.

The DT department has been creatively active with a buzz of cooking, sewing and designing. The food department invited in BM caterers who did a fantastic demo on garnishing the final finish to dishes to help our GCSE students produce 'Master Chef' standard of presentation for their dishes.
In order to complement part of our history course, ‘Genghis Khan and the explosion from the steppes c.1167 – 1405’, our history teachers, Miss Thomas and Mr Khan (no relation!) took our class to see the play ‘Mongol Khan’ in theatre.
Our weekly Science club is an exciting way for our students and enthusiasts to explore and engage with the world of science. The club provides an opportunity for individuals to learn about different scientific disciplines, conduct experiments, and participate in various scientific activities.
Thanks to all the members of the Student Leadership team who helped to organise a number of events for Children in Need.
