📚✨ We were thrilled to host a Children's Book Project event last week!

Pupils from Reception to Year 6 enjoyed choosing from a fantastic selection of donated books to take home and treasure. Seeing the excitement on children's faces as they selected their own books was a wonderful reminder of the power of reading.

A huge thank you to Children's Book Project for supporting our school and helping to foster a love of reading.

Our Year 11s had their final assembly yesterday, marking the end of an incredible journey. We'll miss them dearly, but we're excited to see what the future holds for each of them. Best of luck, Class of 2026! 🎓✨
