Many thanks to the visitors, stallholders, parents, staff and pupils who helped make our Arts Careers Fayre a success this week. It was lovely to see so many learners asking great questions to small businesses and Arts organizations during the event on Thursday this week. Over 300 learners attended the event over the course of the day. Many thanks to all the organizations, companies and artists who attended on the day.

Letters to see ‘Goodnight, Mr Tom’ at The Lowry in mid-Feb have been issued to pupils across the school.
