ENRICH is the name given to our group of local headteachers, primary and secondary, with the main purpose to organise enrichment activities and events for the pupils in our schools.

Today the Student Council met to discuss ‘how we can work together for future joint events’.

Some fantastic ideas were brain stormed, with the top 3 to be discussed and finalised at the next meeting.

WELL DONE TO ALL THE STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED!

A huge well done our Year 7 Girls Football team who played in their first matches as a team yesterday.

A fantastic effort in their first time playing as a team, well done girls!
