We look forward to celebrating our annual Christmas carol service in the school tomorrow morning. This is always a special occasion and a fitting start to the Christmas holidays.

Classes will finish after the carol service which will conclude around 12:15pm.

A huge well done to all our students who came dressed in fantastic Halloween costumes! The creativity and effort were truly impressive.

Congratulations to those who won prizes for their costumes – you really brought the Halloween spirit to life! 

The best costume in each year group won copies of best-selling author and past-pupil Catherine Doyle's Twin Crowns trilogy.

Have a great mid-term break!
