Students win STEM Challenge

Posted on: March 17th 2025

Mr Hainsworth and Mr Lancaster took 12 DT students to a STEM challenge day held at Basingstoke College of Technology. The day consisted of students being presented with a task to design and make a structure capable of firing a plastic ball a minimum of 3 metres and land back close to the firing point. Students also had to produce a design portfolio. Facing strong competition from other local schools and colleges, we were delighted not only to win a trophy for best portfolio but also best overall winner, a great achievement!

Equipping Amery Hill Students with Essential Life Skills: MyBnk Delivers Financial Literacy Workshop

Today, our students at Amery Hill embarked on a crucial journey into the world of personal finance, thanks to an incredibly engaging financial literacy workshop delivered by the fantastic team at MyBnk! In an increasingly complex financial landscape, empowering young people with the skills to manage their money effectively is more vital than ever. MyBnk, a leading UK charity specialising in financial education for young people, provided our students with a hands-on experience designed to do just that. The workshop was a dynamic and interactive session where students immersed themselves in essential financial concepts. They gained practical knowledge and applied critical skills in areas such as budgeting their income, understanding the importance of saving, and making informed decisions about spending. The MyBnk team fostered an environment that encouraged active participation and real-world application, ensuring the concepts resonated deeply with our students. Learning to make smart money choices from a young age builds a strong foundation for future independence and financial well-being. We're incredibly grateful to MyBnk for their expertise and for providing such an interactive and impactful learning experience. Their visit has undoubtedly equipped our students with invaluable tools they'll carry with them throughout their lives.View Article

Hairspray Star Inspires Amery Hill's Performing Arts Students

This week, Amery Hill buzzed with excitement as we welcomed Ben Anderson, an actor from the UK tour of Hairspray. Ben led three incredible workshops for our current and future Dance and Drama stars. Ben guided students through choreographing and performing steps and scenes, sharing vital insights into musical theatre. The sessions included workshopping performances under audition conditions, allowing students to refine their skills in a professional setting. We are really grateful to him for taking a break from his schedule to come and share his incredible energy and musical theatre know-how with us. The Dance Studio was full of students after school reprising the steps they had learnt with Ben, so it's safe to say his visit truly inspired those he worked with!  View Article
