Dear Parents,
We would like to share with you some fantastic activities this week:
KS3 Champions - Term 1A 2020-2021
‘A huge congratulations to our new KS3 Champions, who received the most house points in their year group last half term. We celebrated today with some milk tea and cake!
These students set an excellent example to the rest of the school and have made a fantastic start to this academic year!
To all students, remember that we are all starting this half term with 0 house points, so it’s all to play for! It could be you next time! Work hard, treat each other kindly and get involved in extra-curricular activities around the school to earn house points! Good luck!’
