• Wednesday 24 March 2021 Staff vs pupils netball match What better way to end the term than with a lunchtime netball match between the Year 7&8 girls and staff?

Mr Reynolds and Mr Barnard eventually got the hang of where they were allowed to go and Mr Frost managed not to flatten any children today.
