🎉 This week, we held our Y8 Bonanza Rewards event, celebrating students for their effort, positive behaviour, and excellent attendance. A total of 74 students were invited to take part in a fantastic afternoon of bingo, surprise prizes, dancing, and singing. Everyone had a brilliant time, and it was wonderful to see so many students enjoying the event.

As a pilot event, the Bonanza Rewards afternoon was a huge success. Due to its popularity, we look forward to rolling it out in the future and introducing similar events for other year groups!
