We celebrated Friendship Day at school on Thursday 18th September! This special day was all about fostering connections and building bonds among our students.
Throughout the day, students partnered up with their class buddies to engage in a variety of fun and interactive activities. They participated in art projects, went on scavenger hunts, played friendship bingo, and much more.
These activities encouraged teamwork, communication, and, most importantly, friendship!
We believe that nurturing these connections is vital for our students’ social development and overall well-being.
On Tuesday 17 th September, 40 of our girls and boys attended this cross country event at the grass pitches in the R.S.C. Every child that raced showed unbelievable determination and strength.

We hope to see lots of these children join local athletics clubs!
Well done everyone!
