Many of our sports teams are winning great accolades and playing brilliantly as teams, with notable success in table tennis, netball, and both girls and boys football.

I hosted a lovely afternoon tea party with two children from each year group who had made a big improvement this term in the number of achievement points they have received. We discussed how they were excellent role models for students across the school. It was wonderful to hear about their achievements and all the things that they are enjoying most about school
