THH (The Hangout Hub)
Fridays at 4–4:40pm (UK time) - hosted by Seth Jones
The Hangout Hub is a place made for fun, enjoyment, support and fellowship. The Bible verses we
try to build our club on are: Psalm 133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity!" 1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one
another, even as also ye do." The things we will do in THH (The Hangout Hub) are basically anything
people enjoy or think will be helpful in our day-to-day lives. We will do a poll after every week on
what you think we should do next, hope you come! Here are some suggestions that we might do:
Online games like chess, CrazyGames and others (obviously free, appropriate ones that
everyone can access).Kahoots (like movie Kahoots, educational Kahoots and whatever people want).
Just chatting some weeks.
Looking at a Bible verse and discussion.

Faith in Focus
Starting October 12th 2026, 3pm (UK TIME)
This group is run by Alice and Scarlett (year 10B), and Jess (11C). We've decided to make this group so that we can encourage one another whilst growing in our faith and our education. We wanted to make a group where all school years can gather every other week to dive into God's Word and encourage one another. We want to find applications in the Word, especially in our schooling years no matter what stage we are in. We want it to feel relaxed, where students can share their thoughts and struggles without shame. So that younger years can find encouragement in older years and ask all the questions they need. We want to make this group relatable and a place where we can all grow in our knowledge and faith!!
Blender and intro to 3d design

It’s a place to share ideas, learn new skills, explore different technologies, and collaborate with others who share your interests. Hannah is joining IOS in year 7 (in September 2027) and is running this club, just an introduction to Blender. From casual discussions to hands-on projects, the club is all about learning together and turning ideas into reality. We hope to be able to learn from each other in this club, although Hannah will run the first session to get people started with using Blender to make cool 3d designs and then see them come to life online and on the web.

001 - Nobel Prizes - expand your horizons

The Nobel Prize honors those who dared to ask questions, look closer, and imagine something better. But you don’t need to be a genius to start thinking like a Nobel winner — you just need curiosity and the courage to explore what’s happening around you.📚 In the past, accessing all this information about the Nobel Prizes – including student-friendly slideshows and the official documentation behind each prize – would have meant a trip to a top university library. ✨ But now, it’s all here – curated and compiled for you - at your fingertips!

Intelligent Design - With Andy Fraser
Is life the result of random chance… or intentional design? This course, by Andy Fraser, explores the powerful idea of Intelligent Design - the view that the complexity, order, and information found in nature point to a purposeful Creator rather than blind processes. Students will examine what happens if there is no design: no Creator, no ultimate purpose, no objective meaning - and what it means if design is real. Through exciting real-world examples from biology, physics, astronomy, and information science, students will investigate evidence, ask big questions, debate ideas, and discover fascinating features of the natural world - from DNA as a “code” to the fine-tuning of the universe itself. This is a course for curious minds who love to explore, discuss, and think deeply about life’s biggest questions.
