A huge thank you to all of our detectives who helped the English department solve the mystery at our Open Evening crime scene on Thursday night. After piecing together all of the wonderful evidence you provided us we have concluded that many of you were correct - Damien’s fiancé Laura had foolishly dropped her glasses case at the scene of the crime which had her finger prints all over it. The scissors had been used as the weapon and Laura had cleaned them up using the cleaning wipes… which left the poor 71 year old cleaner Maureen looking suspicious! She clearly had been watching far too many crime documentaries…
We could never have solved this crime with out all of our wonderful detectives! 🕵🏼‍♂️

An exciting opportunity has arisen for you to attend a live Q&A with children’s author, Alex Wheatle! 🤩 His famous books include Straight Outta Crongton and Home Girl 📚 Tickets will be available in the library once we return, but be aware this is on a first come first served basis. If you have a question for Alex, keep an eye on our Insta stories or let your English teacher know!
