HIGHLIGHTS
The Summer concert was a wonderful occasion to start the week with such a wide variety of music from opera to Abba and everything in between. Thank you to all the staff and parents who support the evening and most of all to the students who took part.
Our Gold Duke of Edinburgh group are walking and wild camping in the Lake District this week, the weather has been ‘changeable’ for them. They are doing well and have been supportive of another school who are in area showing great empathy and understanding.

We operate a one (standard size) shopping bag per family policy and use ticketing system to stagger entrance to the food bank. We ask that you enter through the side door.
