It was a 4.30am departure for staff and students attending this year’s UHS sports tour to Holland. With bags loaded and all 30 students and 4 staff accounted for, we set off by coach for Dover. The students’ tiredness quickly faded, as a buzz of excitement took over. The coach journey and ferry crossing to Calais both went smoothly and other than the constant ‘are we there yet?’ questions, the students were well behaved.

Arriving at our accommodation (Centre Parcs) mid-afternoon on Friday, we checked in to our cabins before heading to the swimming pool to cool down. A couple of hours in the pool was followed by a staff-made dinner of pasta – high in carbohydrates, ready for the next day’s football. With lights out by 10pm, Day 1 was complete. Tomorrow was a big day!

For the last three months, thirty of our Year 13 students have been mentored by seven professionals from different departments within HASBRO. The programme was sponsored by Princes Charles Trust and In the Community We Trust.

Barcelona Trip 7^th – 10^th March 2017

Salter’s SEN Chemistry Festival at Brunel University, Thursday 4th May, 2017.

Student Review:

‘There were five schools invited to Brunel University for the second annual Salter’s Chemistry Festival. The purpose of the festival was for students to learn about chemistry by taking part in experiments. In the first experiment we used different powders and inks to investigate who had killed someone. The second experiment required us to collect different types of water to make some soap creations. The day finished with a science magic show - led by a university professor - and included bending steel and freezing food in liquid nitrogen.

I particularly enjoyed when we searched for different types of water - pond water, lake water, drinking water and boiled water – mixing the water with oils and nuts to make soap.

When the rewards were presented at the end of the day, Uxbridge High were awarded with 3rd place for the murder mystery investigation – a great achievement! ‘

Science Week was a huge success in March, with over 200 students participating in various activities during lunchtime with Mr Sarai and Ms Toraub. We kicked off Science Week with a rather fiery start, with both teachers setting students' hands alight!
