As part of World Book Day 2026 the Key Stage 3 and 4 footballers got together in the school hall to take part in the National Literacy Trust's Footy and Booky quiz. They were asked 20 questions from famous figures from professional football and the world of books and worked in small teams to answer them as best as they could. There were some exciting appearances from Manchester United players and mascots, former England goalkeeper David James and well known authors like Michael Rosen.

Brooklyn came out on top with an impressive score of 18/20!! He even got the trick question about Erling Haaland's place of birth - well done Brooklyn.

Everyone took part with interest and respect and challenged themselves to answer all the questions. The quiz and some extra videos area available on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh31rV0M52s

Well done everyone it was a great morning and lots of footballing fun!

With Year 10s focusing on Macbeth as part of their English project, the students were asked to write their own soliloquies as Macbeth. The students produced excellent work and it is lovely to be able to share it. As this leads onto term 4, students will continue their study of Macbeth, developing their understanding of character, themes, key quotations, and exam skills.

Next week two school council students will deliver the food donations to the local food bank.

For Children in Need tomorrow, pupils can come in non-uniform. Please could they bring something to donate - canned/packet goods - nothing perishable.

On November 11th our students were invited to wear their Cadet uniform to school. We couldn't be more proud of how they conducted themselves around school and took the Poppy Appeal box around to classes.

Our classes took the two minute silence to respectfully reflect on the sacrifices the Armed Forces make on our behalf.

Limited spaces available.  Please let your Crew Leader know if this is something you'd be interested in.
