A huge well done to our amazing Harington Sports Leaders who did a fantastic job officiating at the Varsity Athletics competition at Corby Athletics Club.

We are incredibly proud of their effort and the positive impact they had on such a successful sporting afternoon.
Our Year 12 Biology students enjoyed an inspiring trip to the Botanical Gardens in Cambridge.
Despite the weather, students had a fantastic time exploring a wide variety of plant species and discovering the adaptations that help them survive in different environmental conditions. It was a great opportunity to bring classroom learning to life while exploring the incredible complexity of the gardens they have been studying in lessons.![]()

This week the DofE are celebrating Volunteers’ Week.
Social value certificates recognise the fantastic work that our students do for their communities. The certificate also shows a monetary value to students’ efforts towards the Volunteering section of their DofE. The statistics revealed that our students clocked up a huge 3640 hours of volunteering as part of their DofE this year, with an estimated total value of £27481.
We know volunteering changes lives, that is why it is such a vital part of our DofE programme. It’s more than our students just giving their time; it’s about discovering passions, building confidence, and gaining skills that last a lifetime.
