During the month of March the Social Science department took a group of students to Poland; this visit was based around enlightening students of the events which initially sparked researcher’s interest into the field of Social Psychology.

On Friday 1st March the whole of year 7 had a talk from a very special guest.  Our visitor was Mohammed Amin MBE who has, on several occasions, been listed as one of the hundred most influential Muslims in the UK.

During the half term breakone hundred and thirteen of our pupils travelled by coach and ferry to Lésignynear Paris. Everyone was very excited to arrive in France. We arrived at our accommodation ‘Chateau de Grande Romaine’ where we enjoyed settling in, having an evening meal and participating in the evening activities.

Today at SJP we are celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Over the past 15 years, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science. Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science.

In the last week of term before the Christmas holidays, all of our Y13 students participated in their first Oracy Conference Day. Working in forms, they considered the topic of the NHS and debated whether or not it should be privatised.
