A huge thank you to all of the parents, past, present and future pupils, families and local supporters who made Saturday’s Open Day such a great success.

It was a fantastic morning and it means so much to us that our parents want to come in and help us to work with the children. Well done to all the boys for working so hard to perfect the games and also for behaving so well.  

On Friday we held a Community Cake and Book Sale which was a huge success! Our Parents’ association organised the whole event and did a great job. We were snowed under with the amount of books that were donated by parents and pupils during the week, which along with the cakes brought in, made the day an event that everybody enjoyed. It was great to see people from the community come in to our school, enjoy a cup of tea and then walk away with a handful of cakes and a box load of books! After the success of the day, this is something we hope to repeat again in the future. A big thank you to...
