Report on The BBC Schools’ Report programme

Details: Published on 21 May 2013

The BBC Schools’ Report programme is an annual event, involving hundreds of schools across the country. This was the first year that The Crest Girls’ Academy took part and it proved to be an amazing chance for those involved to gain a real insight into life as a journalist.

The group initially consisted of 30 students from Years 7-11 who volunteered for the programme. A number of positions were advertised and the students were required to complete a letter of application, stating which position they were applying for and details of their transferable skills. Immediately, this gave the project a formality and ensured the students understood that it takes a large number of people to make a high quality news programme.

Strategic Learning Partnership with Highgate School

Details: Published on 02 May 2013

A group of Year 11 GCSE Triple Science girls participated in a day of Physics at Highgate school, for our upcoming Physics exam. The focus of the session was electromagnetism, the motor effect and transformers. The day was an opportunity to explore electromagnetism in use through a series of practical, hands-on activities. For example, understanding how loudspeakers and headphones function.

The facilities were exceptional. We extended our knowledge by using the excellent equipment provided. We were able to visualise the contents of our textbooks, hence our learning was enhanced.
