Celebrating CORE Day at HGABR
Today we celebrate CORE Day – a special occasion dedicated to living our values: Commitment, Optimism, Resilience, and Empathy. These principles guide everything we do and help to shape a positive, thriving school community.
Each academic year, students participate in two Core Days, which include a mix of onsite and offsite activities designed to enrich learning and personal development.

Year 7 students will visit the Science Museum. They will take part in an engaging Space workshop, have the chance to speak with a scientists working in a lab, and explore the museum galleries. This experience complements their Key Stage 3 curriculum and sparks curiosity about the wonders of science.
