Trip to Berlin

Posted on: July 16th 2025

Students from Amery Hill have returned from an exhilarating and deeply enriching trip to Berlin, a journey described by many as "Amazing!" The recent excursion to the German capital offered a unique blend of historical discovery, cultural immersion, and invaluable life lessons, leaving a lasting positive impression on all who participated. What's more, for our GCSE History enthusiasts, the trip served as a phenomenal real-world textbook, bringing their Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship and Conflict and Tension: The Cold War, 1945–1991 units vividly to life.

Imaginative Islands

Imaginative Islands

This term, all of Year 7 have been taking part in our annual Island Project Competition, the exciting culmination of an experiential learning unit that explores how religions begin, evolve, and sometimes fade over time. The project is built around an imaginative scenario: humanity has been stranded on a deserted island and must rebuild life from scratch. Throughout the unit, students have investigated how early communities form beliefs, develop rituals, create places of worship, and establish shared values. They then explored how, over hundreds of years, these practices might change - splitting into different denominations, giving rise to new traditions, or even disappearing altogether. Using this framework, students were challenged to think 1,000 years into the future and imagine how their island society would grow, what might remain important to its people, and which customs could be lost or forgotten with time. The creativity shown this year has been outstanding. Students have produced imaginative designs, detailed maps, symbolic artefacts, and thoughtful accounts of their island communities’ histories and belief systems. Every entry demonstrates impressive critical thinking and creativity, making it incredibly difficult to choose an overall winner. The winning project will earn points for the student’s House - though with such strong work across the year group, the judges certainly have a tough decision ahead! View Article

Feedback was extremely positive, and we look forward to growing the event further next year. We were also pleased to welcome parents to a Careers Talk introducing UniFrog, our new careers platform which will support students in future pathways, recording experiences and developing CVs. Further guidance on UniFrog will follow later in the academic year.  View Article
