Year 10:

This week, Year 10 students took part in a Graffiti Art workshop run by Marvin Mudzongo from Lemon Pop Ltd. The students had the opportunity to learn the skills needed to carry out some graffiti art work. They learnt can control which helped them to create amazing pieces of work to use as part of their Art GCSE coursework. They all assisted Marvin in creating a large piece of Art work which will be displayed in school.

Year 11:

Year 11 sociology students took part in a virtual careers in law presentation with staff at Lewis Silkin Law Firm who are based in London. They discussed:

What it means to be a lawyer (e.g. difference between barristers and solicitors, difference between criminal and civil law).
The routes to get into law (e.g. apprenticeships, going to university, how to make applications stand out).
Careers in law, how they got started and what day-to-day work involves.

Sixth Form:

Last week, Jo Gouldson from Northamptonshire Highways visited Corby Technical School to deliver a hard-hitting workshop to Year 13 on road safety. With many of our sixth formers are learning to drive and this served as a poignant reminder of the responsibility that comes with driving a vehicle on our roads. All students listened intently and asked carefully considered questions; they were a credit to our school.

Jo will be visiting Corby Technical School again in March to deliver a similar workshop to Year 12.
