Our Year 10 GCSE Computer Science students have taken part in BIMA Digital Day 2022. BIMA Digital Day gives 11-16 year olds an insight into a world of digital careers. The students are competing in a sponsored, nationwide digital challenge for a chance to win £500 cash for the school and some fantastic prizes for themselves.
It’s a day that brings digital to life. 95% of BIMA members told us a lack of skills was holding back their growth. The Centre for Economics and Business Research agreed, saying the shortage of tech and digital talent is costing the UK £21.8bn. The digital industry has been growing at twice the rate of the broader economy.
The students were given a challenge for either Royal Mail or Primark, and worked in groups to design and develop a digital solution. We are very lucky to have Hedgehog Lab in as our external agency.
They will be working with the students, delivering the brief and discussing about what it’s like to work for one of the top ranked Global Mobile App Development organisations, working for customers in the UK & USA, delivering mobile, web and digital products to brands such as Deliveroo, Northumbrian Water, Microsoft & Santander.
This week, Year 10 and 11 students enjoyed a trip to the Port of Blyth. They took part in a team challenge in the afternoon, having to prepare and present their ideas to the rest of the group, very professionally!
The staff from the port made several comments about how impressed they were with their team work, professionalism, and innovative creative ideas.
2 teams were given a prize of £15 Amazon vouchers as they were joint winners.
Well done to all who took part!
Healthcare Science have an exciting opportunity for Year 10-13 students – it is a virtual work experience programme that pupils can complete at their own pace during half term 24th October – 4th November 2022 (around 10 hours).
There are only 300 places nationally, so we would encourage those interested to apply asap! Closing date for applications is 19th October.
Full details can be found on the Springpod website.
On Friday 7 October 2022, Year 10 students will have their school photographs taken.
Students should arrive at school in full uniform for the photographs.
If students are timetabled to have PE on Friday, their PE lesson will have been adapted so they will not need to bring their PE kit into school.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
