Northwest in Bloom

Our school has been nominated for an award from Northwest in Bloom again this year. The judging is taking place on Thursday in Southport. Imaan Ali, Leah King and Elliott Lindley gave up some of their time during the holidays to show the judges round and are going to Southport together with Mrs. Coxell, Mr. Crossley and Mrs. Kent. Fingers crossed for a good result.
