On Halloween, Sixth Form students enjoyed a trip to the historic city of York as part of their Photography and Media Studies courses.

Sixth Form Media Studies students have recently taken part in the BBC Academy's Digital Cities event, which was held at Teesside University. The event also coincided with one of the campus Open Days which take place throughout the year.

This month, a group of Sixth Form students who are studying Level 3 Professional Cookery at King James, have participated in a trip to "The Cellar Door', a fine dining restaurant in the heart of Durham.

Year 11- 13 Art and Photography students have recently returned from a five day cultural visit to Barcelona. Students were amazed with the beautiful architecture, vibrant culture and the sightseeing opportunities.

During the Photography visit to Barcelona three students were lucky enough to attend the Champions League football match between Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven at Camp Nou. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch a game at Barcelona's home stadium, which is the third biggest football stadium in the world.

Jamie Margolin, a freelance film producer and cinematographer from Los Angeles has recently visited King James. He participated in a Q&A session with Sixth Form Media students as part of their Level 3 BTEC Creative Media course.

King James has raised a grand total of £394.33 for Macmillan Cancer Support at our annual World's Biggest Coffee Morning fundraising event.

Well done to our Sixth Form students for achieving another fantastic set of results in Summer 2018.

Media Studies students in Years 11 and 13 have returned from a two-day Media experience to Leeds. The trip included a range of activities designed to increase their understanding of the media industry, and various opportunities to simply try something new.

To mark the end of their time at King James, and the beginning of the next chapter in their lives, Year 13 students, teachers and support staff gathered together to enjoy an afternoon barbeque and buffet in the sunshine.
