St Margaret Mary's Language Day

Mrs Evans and some of our Year 10 pupils taught primary Spanish to some students at St Margaret Mary''s School on Wednesday 12th September. All the pupils, both young and old had a fabulous time. Our boys taught Spanish with a sports theme which had all the students running around shouting out Spanish words while the girls concentrated on Spanish life and helped students write some Spanish sentences. I think we have some prospective teachers among our Year 10! Thanks to the staff and pupils at St Margaret Mary''s School for the opportunity and a very big well done to Mrs Evans and her pupils! Muy bien!

Duke Of Edinburgh Course

We are starting the Duke of Edinburgh Award this year for Year 10. We have a number of staff volunteers who are ready to run the course. All we need now are the students! Anyone in Year 10 who is interested in applying to complete the award please see Miss Brough as soon as possible.

School Parliament

Elections are this week for budding politicians. Each form can vote for two candidates who will form our Student Parliament which has a significant voice in the way our school is run. Good luck to all our prospective candidates
