What a fun day we have had up in the sports hall! This afternoon saw year 7&8 enjoying the arcade, and the day was finished off with a special period 5 session for students with 100% attendance all year! The students visited our ‘Gold Stand’ and traded in their remaining club points for some fantastic prizes!

The Arcade has landed!!! Our sports hall has been transformed into an arcade for the day, filled with retro arcade machines, dance machines, driving simulators and much much more!
