The Fair is open every morning break and lunchtime for the rest of the week.

60% of the total Fair takings come back to school to be spent
directly on our children, so it’s well worth supporting.

Last year we broke the £3,000 ceiling and are only the second school to achieve this!
With your help, we might even do it again!

These hard-working Fair Makers from Y7 and 8 had just spent four intensive hours arranging all the stationery and books and will be helping every day!

The first round of the MFL Spelling Bee took place this week. Pupils in Year 7 learnt a bank of 50 Spanish words off by heart and had to spell as many as they could using the Spanish alphabet in one minute. This is the first time we have participated using Spanish rather than French, so all of our competitors are part of history in the making! Congratulations to the five winners who go through to compete in the second round next month. Or, we should say, ‘Felicitaciones’!
A team from BBC Bitesize came into school this week to get the views of our Y7. The website designers are in the process of putting together online activities and revision material for KS3 MFL and wanted feedback on their work so far. Our pupils were very forthcoming with their opinions, highlighting the positives they saw and what the team could do to make it even more appealing. The website goes live in a few months and will be available for all to access in school and at home.
Don’t forget our next PTA meeting is Tuesday 21st January at 7.00 pm.
We hope to see you there!
