🌿 Our outdoor area is complete! 🌿
We’re delighted to share that our newly refreshed outdoor space is now ready, featuring beautiful planting and new benches. It’s a peaceful little sun trap perfect for some quiet time and relaxation.
A big well done to our Eco Club members, who had a fantastic day helping bring this space to life while learning valuable new skills along the way. 🌱

🏆 Penalty Shoot-Out Result 🏆
And the winners of the Year 11 penalty shoot-out today are… Y Half! 🎉⚽
A brilliant effort from both teams, but Y Half held their nerve to take the win. Well done to everyone involved! 👏

🌿 School Eco Club Update 🌿
The w**d control sheeting is all sorted, and everything has been set out ready to go in after lunch alongside some additional plants. 🌱
A fantastic achievement and great teamwork from everyone involved well done all! 👏
And as an added bonus, the sun has even made an appearance! ☀️

🌿 Eco Club Update 🌿
Our Eco Club students are off timetable today, working hard to improve one of our outdoor areas. It’s been a busy and productive morning so far, with lots of w**ding and ground preparation ready for planting later.
Great determination and teamwork on display from everyone involved! 💪🌱
Now we’re just keeping our fingers crossed that the rain holds off! 🌦️
