CHILDREN IN NEED

Non-Uniform Day on Friday 13th November raised £100 for Children in Need. The children had fun dressing in their pyjamas or their favourite fancy dress clothes.

Thanks to everyone for your support.

DRAYTON MANOR

The whole school had a fantastic day out at Drayton Manor Park thanks to the Rotary Club. All children had free admission to the park and lunch was also provided.

All the children received a medal and a snow globe.

GALLERIES OF JUSTICE

As part of the KS3 Theme curriculum students visited The Galleries of Justice in Nottingham. Pupils participated in an interactive workshop that taught pupils a greater understanding of Crime and Punishment throughout the ages.

Pupils had a wonderful day and have since produced some excellent work in Media, Food Technology, Drama and Art.
