Many thanks to all the parents, learners and friends who joined us for our annual school Awards Evening this week. The event proved a great success and there were an impressive number of students receiving awards from across the school curriculum. Than you to all those who attended and to the students who performed on the night too.

We welcome GW Theatre Company into school this week as they perform their piece ‘Ganged Up!’ to Year 9 learners. The students will watch the 75 minute performance and participate in a workshop based on gang related crime. Further work also takes place in our PSHEE curriculum in the following weeks.

Many thanks to Robin Graham, the laughter facilitator, who joined students in our drama studio to lead a laughter workshop to students from all years after school. Robin used a range of techniques to offer a way of looking at the world in a positive, cheerful way and students enjoyed the activities offered.
