We would like to celebrate this week’s amazing Stars of the Week! 📸✨ Recognised by their teachers for their hard work, fantastic attitudes, and for demonstrating our values. We are incredibly proud of you all! Keep shining bright! 💫
A special shout-out also goes to two of our Year 6 children for their fantastic achievements outside of school! One achieved 2nd place at a British Gymnastics competition, while the other had the incredible opportunity to attend a World Dance competition in America over the summer! 🤸‍♀️🌎💃

Mr McCulloch has been leading incredibly inspiring assemblies this week, exploring the story and significance behind #Remembrance and the Last Post.

Our Year 11 student Bobby, has performed the Last Post live in front of our entire school community of 1,300 students across the week. His playing has been absolutely exceptional and has made the assemblies even more moving and memorable. It takes real confidence to perform in front of so many people, and Bobby has done himself and the school incredibly proud.
