Our Year 7 students had a fantastic time on our annual Art trip to Burghley House. They took part in a wire sculpture workshop, creating their own dragonfly, explored one of England’s finest Elizabethan houses, and discovered the stunning gardens filled with fascinating sculptures.![]()
Students particularly enjoyed learning about the history of the house and William Cecil, creating their wire dragonflies, and uncovering the hidden meanings behind historical portraits. As one student said, “The trip was really fun and a great way to socialise!”![]()

What an unbelievable day at the Varsity Athletics competition for our Year 7–10 students! This has been one of the most successful Varsity events we have ever had, with incredible effort, determination, and team spirit shown by every student throughout the day. We are so proud of the performances and attitudes displayed from start to finish. A huge congratulations to all who took part and represented the school so brilliantly. Our results were outstanding across the board: Year 7 girls – 1st 🥇, Year 7 boys – 2nd 🥈, Year 8–9 girls – 2nd 🥈, Year 8–9 boys – 1st 🥇, KS4 girls – 1st 🥇, and KS4 boys – 2nd 🥈. An incredible team performance overall, seeing us crowned overall winners in both KS3 and KS4 categories! We look forward to sharing county selection updates soon. Go Team Catmose!!
Forty of our students recently enjoyed an inspiring visit to the National Museum of Computing. During a fascinating guided tour, students explored the story of British computing history, from the groundbreaking cryptography research at to the remarkable Colossus computer, which helped decipher the German Lorenz cipher during the Second World War. Students also discovered the origins of commercial computing and computing education through the iconic BBC Micro, with everyone having the opportunity to write and run their own programs in BASIC. The museum team were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, and even treated us to a live demonstration of the working Colossus machine. A memorable and educational experience for all—we look forward to returning with more students in the future!
