As part of our whole school focus on Oracy, we invited some Y7 pupils to have lunch with us today. The simple act of sitting down, sharing a meal and having a conversation can promote connection and build young people's self-esteem and confidence. We look forward to having more!

Members of the Orchard Committee enjoyed a special treat: apple crumble made with our first ever Orchard apple🍎 Ben from Gressenhall Environment Hub brought tree specimens + showed students how scientists use tree rings to study climate change. A great informative session. 🌳

We have amazing news to share about Georgie F in Y7 who has been selected for Norfolk U13s Cricket Team. Georgie was really excited to share her news yesterday. Post shared from Dereham Cricket Club who are understandably very proud of Georgie as are we! Well done Georgie!!
