World Book Day 2017

We celebrated World Book Day in school recently. Our Library quiz winners were Archie Peffers, Cole Hambleton, Emma Edwards and Alexander Jones all from Year 7 and taking joint first place in the Year 7 door decoration competition were 7T and 7R.

Thank you to all parents for your support on the Year 9 Parents’ evening. Please contact school if you require further guidance on the completion of options.

On Wednesday, March 1st we celebrated Dydd Gwyl Dewi with our annual whole school assembly. This was led by the Welsh department and Year 12 Welsh students, Tomos Edwards, Jack Davies and Shekeira Pritchard. There was also a splendid report by Emma Pryce and Samantha Short about the recent Year 12 trip to Cardiff. At breaktime staff enjoyed Welsh cakes, with donations for the cakes going to the Marie Curie Daffodil Appeal. Year 7 have also competed in the Dydd Gwyl Dewi homework competitions and there have been some fantastic entries, which were judged by the Welsh department.

We have had some wonderful musical performances in our whole school assemblies recently.
