✨ What an incredible Open Evening! ✨ A huge thank you to everyone who joined us from future students and parents to our amazing staff and student ambassadors who brought the school to life! 💫 It was fantastic to showcase our school community and we couldn’t be prouder. 💙📚

This time tomorrow...

Another soggy morning of activities for our very resilient students-so proud of you all! We have now left the Lake District and are due back at 4.15-4.30pm. Please do not park in the bus bay or on the turning circle to allow the three coaches to arrive safely. #Y7ResilienceCamp

Unfortunately the weather beat us again tonight and we couldn't have the traditional singsong around the campfire this evening. Thankfully our spirits were not dampened as you can see (and hear!) #Y7ResilienceCamp

Day 2 is looking like a mixed bag weather-wise, but everyone has eaten well this morning and already stuck into activities #Y7ResilienceCamp
