Last week, we were delighted to welcome a group of Year 10 students from King’s Academy Bay House and Fareham Academy for their work experience placements. It was especially lovely to see Gomer alumni among them! The students quickly became part of our school community and made a real difference during their time with us. They supported c ...

This week, Year 5 had an opportunity to try something completely new—fencing. The taster session was designed to introduce pupils to a sport they may never have experienced before, and they embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and curiosity.

This morning, our Year 6 adventurers set off on their residential to Tile Barn and let’s just say, we are very glad we booked two coaches… because these children do not pack light! From sleeping bags to socks (and everything in between), they were well-prepared for their stay in the New Forest. We are pleased to confirm that all children ...
