Media and Communications Scholarship 2019-2026
The year 7 Media & Communications Scholars have been taking part in an exciting and practical introduction programme. They found out a little more about each other through icebreaker activities and then participated in a fun and interactive photography & videography workshop in the SMA TV Studio.
Over the first term, the Scholars have been undertaking some intensive media training which includes; Cinematography, video editing and how to safely set up for a day shoot.
The pupils were really excited to begin their Debate Mate induction with Mr Brown and attended a Film Camp during the October Half Term in which they worked as a team to produce a short film for a national competition. In November, We visited Warner Bros. Studio Tour and the pupils were shocked at how much work went into creating the 8 Harry Potter films.

Sporting Brilliance Scholarship 2019-2020
The Year 7 Sporting Brilliance pupils have been taking part in an exciting and practical introduction programme. They started off by working together through team building activities and then participated in indoor athletics and physical training sessions. Over the first term, the Scholars will be undertaking sessions that will involve intensive physical methods of training which includes; Circuit, Interval and Fartlek.
The pupils are really excited to be on the Sporting Brilliance programme and the department will this term assess other pupils in the year group to gradually increase the cohort over the forthcoming weeks through our own Talent ID sessions. We look forward to seeing the Scholars at two exciting external enrichment trips to Charlton Athletic Football Club and Sky Sports Studios where they can gain valuable insight into a Professional football club and a mainstream sporting media giant.
