Year 10 Boys’ Football Team

The Year 10 Boys’ Football Team were narrowly beaten 0-1 by St Cuthbert’s in a recent Cup fixture.

The students involved were: Brandon Coughlan, Ben Howarth, Owain Harrison, Kristian Kean, Will Taylor, Danny Cryer, Stephen Nairn, Danny Pearson, Joe Wrest, Brandon Kwei-Sutcliffe, Saqlain Khalid, Abubakr Ali and Mohammed Awais.

Drop Everything and Read (DEAR)

The next Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) session takes place on Thursday 13th November during afternoon registration. The aim of DEAR is to create a culture of reading for pleasure and to eradicate the stigma attached to reading. Students and staff will be taking part, and they will be encouraged to read from a variety of materials including books, newspapers and magazines.
