Shout Outs

Staff have been sending in messages to let school know about the good work students are producing while they are learning from home and we wanted to share these with you.

Drama

Miss Bonsall would like to say well done to year 9s for their drama work, in particular to Hannah, Tilda, Niamh, Eve and Olivia for their amazing annotation of ‘I Wish I Was Our Sammy’ from Blood Brothers.
