Due to the expected hot weather forecast this week, pupils are invited to wear their school PE kit this week if they wish. This is a house coloured PE t-shirt and school sports shorts with trainers.

We’re excited to be teaming up with the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust to encourage our pupils to travel to school more actively and sustainably. Well done to all our brilliant artists!
