Fearnhill Thoughts
I chose to continue my learning at Fearnhill due to the close knit community that has been established here. It provides a more focused and specialized learning environment allowing other
students to dive deeper into the subjects they are passionate about.
Studying at Fearnhill has been great because smaller class sizes means I receive more support from my teachers and lessons feel more personal and can be easily tailored to the classes needs.
Thankyou to everyone that attended our Sixth Form Open Evening last night. We had a great turnout with a great atmosphere, we can’t wait to see everyone who chooses to join us in September!

On Friday 16th October, the whole of Year 7 was invited on a cultural experience to London. Here, we were lucky enough to watch the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace, walk past Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament, before crossing Westminster Bridge. We then embarked on a guided River Cruise along the River Thames, which took in sights such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, HMS Belfast and the Tate Modern. After this, the group hopped on the London Eye to give a breathtaking 360 view over the city. All staff were incredibly impressed with Fearnhill students, as they all displayed a real positivity when taking in the sights, as well as great confidence when tackling new challenges. Year 7, you should be very proud of yourselves. #Fearnhill #london #sightseeing
A reminder that we have our Sixth Form Open Evening tomorrow. Doors will open at 6pm and you are invited to attend one of the speeches at either 6.15pm or 7.15pm. Prospective sixth form students, and their families, will get the chance to meet our staff, explore our A-Level and BTEC courses, take part in taster sessions and explore our school and facilities. The taster sessions will be running for Criminology, Psychology, Sociology, History, Geography and RE. We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow! #Fearnhill #sixthform #OpenEvening
Before half term, our year 8 football team played a brilliant game against Barclay Academy, where we won 4-1. The whole team was phenomenal. All played really well and as a team, including all substitutes. They really worked hard for each other! Nathan C has been awarded Player of the Match but Harry and Teddy were strong as ever as well. A massive well done to all that took part, this is an amazing result! #Fearnhill #football #welldone
On the Thursday before half term we were lucky enough to see the second half of our house music competition finalists. Students from KS4 and KS5 shared their incredible talents and it was great fun for everyone who watched and took part. We are very proud of all who performed! #fearnhill #music #musiccompetition
Year 8 and 9 played an exceptional game against St Chris on the 14th October. This was a home game with a win of 6 goals vs their 3. It was a great performance from the whole team with Riley S being awared Player of the Match for scoring a very good and very quick hat trick. The whole squad were great but special mentions to Teddy C and Ollie D who were everywhere. #football #welldone #fearnhill
This time last year was the finals of our house music competition. Just like this year we saw some exceptional talent across all Key Stages. We can’t wait to possibly see some more of the musical talent that we have in our school! #music #musiccompetitions #Fearnhill
Our science club meet every Wednesday, they have been working hard recently seeing how different elements can affect flame colour when they’re lit using bunsen burners. #science #scienceclub #Fearnhill
