  Our year 8 students have been busy rehearsing and acting out their restaurant scenarios... muy beuno, todos! Mr Wood also made a surprise appearance, albeit in a disguise...

A number of our year 9/10 music students spent the afternoon participating in or watching a piano masterclass with Richard Merrick - a world class piano player. This was a great opportunity for our students to receive advice and motivation from someone who was once in their shoes.

Gardening kneeling pads request – We are still looking!

We are still looking for any old garden kneeling pads we can use whilst doing some weeding with me.  We would really appreciate your donation. We're eager to take unwanted items and reuse these, instead of buying from new.

If you are able to donate a kneeling pad, please either contact Mrs Teague to arrange dropping it off, or call into Reception and leave it with them.
 

 

Thank you again for your generosity - the Eco Reps & Mrs Teague.
