• European Day of Languages

  Wed 25 Sep 2019 Mrs Cox-Wall

  This special day is organised by the Council of Europe and is celebrated on the 26th September every year. 

  Mr Karby prepared a special assembly for us on the benefits of learning another language, obviously Wales has 2 already! He also prepared some snacks from other European Countries for us to sample and pronounce correctly, in celebration of our European neighbours and their many languages!

  Learning another language can help you get a job abroad, help you when you go on holiday and improve your intelligence levels - try it today!

• Fitness and boxing after school club launched!

  Fri 13 Sep 2019 Mrs Cox-Wall

  This Thursday saw the first session for KS3 pupils with Empire Fighting Chance and coach Aaron taking a fitness and boxing class as part of their wellbeing intervention package. Everyone joined in, staff included and enjoyed it immensely. 

  We also offered the hour after school to any staff or pupils for a fitness and boxing skills class which proved very popular.

  Exercise and physical activity is good for you as it can keep your body fit, help you clear your mind, stop long term illnesses developing like diabetes and afterwards you get to relax! 

  Children and young people should ideally be exercising 3 times a week to improve and maintain their health
