• Sky athlete Natasha Jonas visits Clare Mount

  Mon 28 Sep 2015 D Keefe
  Clare Mount is excited to welcome GB Boxer Natasha Jonas to Clare Mount to run a whole school assembly and work with a number of Year 8 pupils doing practical challenges, telling her story and learning about the 6 keys to success. The school has welcomed a number of Sky athlete mentors in recent years and pupils find the visits inspiring. Natasha was the first female British boxer to go to the Olympic Games and certainly shares our 'I Can' mentality to learning and meeting challenges.

• Year 11 Silver D of E

  Fri 25 Sep 2015 Mr S. Stanley
  The Year 11 recently completed their Silver Duke of Edinburgh Exploration.  They walked along the Wirral Way from West Kirby to Willaston.  After having an ice cream stop, students were then transported by school minibus to Quinta Christian Residential Centre where they camped for two nights.  The second day saw ten other students join the trip and all walked to Chirk Castle.  The walk included the Llangollen Canal viaduct and tunnel which is 451 metres in length.  After lunch students were able to explore the castle, the grounds and its dungeon.  Some were even sent to the stocks!!  A walk back to the camp site in the rain looked a dampener for the campfire but fortunately the weather cleared up and the students were able to sit around the campfire eating their dinner as well as toasting marshmallows!!  The final day involved packing up the equipment and returning to the Wirral to walk to Thurstaston for lunch!  Some very tired students went home that night!
