76 shoeboxes collected in school - well done and a big thank you to each pupil who generously filled a box, also to the pupils who donated to the cause online. Team Hope delivers the Christmas boxes to children in Africa and Eastern Europe. We are grateful to you all for supporting this worthy campaign. 

Thanks so much for  the huge support for our annual cake sale. It was a big thumbs up from The Amber Flag Committee who were delighted with the large quantities of goodies that all the pupils enjoyed. We really appreciate your support. 😊

We encourage pupils to give their ideas, on how as a school,  we can promote and improve the wellbeing of all in our school community. We value pupil voice so all suggestions are welcome.
