We were delighted to welcome the team from Sky Blue Theatre Co. today for their Shakespeare Rewired workshop, supporting our Year 8 students with their English study of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The energy in the room was fantastic, and we were blown away by our students’ enthusiasm, engagement, and knowledge throughout the session. It was wonderful to see Shakespeare brought to life in such a creative and interactive way.

A huge thank you to Sky Blue Theatre Company for an amazing experience - our students were incredible! 🎭✨

We look forward to welcoming the team back tomorrow to work with the rest of our Year 8 students and inspire even more young Shakespeare enthusiasts.

☀️After School Clubs Cancelled ☀️

Due to the high temperatures forecast for the end of today and continuing into tomorrow, all after-school clubs scheduled for this evening and tomorrow have been cancelled.

Unfortunately, this includes the Football World Cup Tournament that was due to take place tomorrow.

We understand this may be disappointing, but the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff must come first in these extreme weather conditions. ☀️

Thank you for your understanding and support. Please ensure students stay hydrated, wear appropriate clothing, and take care in the heat.
