You too can join a club like this one (well your child can) (if they attend our school) every other Monday after school (not today) and there are always (usually) biscuits 😊

February is fast approaching, meaning it's nearly time for the 20th UK LGBT+ History month. The 2025 theme is #ActivismAndSocialChange.
Throughout history LGBT+ people have been activists & helped shape & create social change, advancing society for everyone.

Dad fetched the big box of decorations from the attic. They spent a lot of time arranging them on the tree. When they had finished, they switched on the fairy lights and left the curtains open so that all the people passing by could see it.

ALT A black and white illustration of John Masefield's Box of Delights. An elderly bearded man trudges through snow pursued by wolves. Trees flank the scene, which appears to emerge from a box and a ghostly face gazes at it in the background. There is a white house on a hill and a aeroplane in the sky.

We are delighted to celebrate #NonfictionNovember. What better time to share and browse our #ukla25 Longlisted books for the Information books category. A wealth of wonderful reads, for children and young people ( and adults too!) @Joyisreading @LockwoodCm
What's that you say?
I could have shelved them all in the same time it took me to arrange them nicely on the trolley, photograph them and posted on Twitter?
But then you wouldn't have seen our KS3's fabulous choice of half term holiday reading material would you?

Yesterday was so busy welcoming back all our readers after half term that the returns pile is teetering on the edge...
