Today Ms Rawcliffe took 40 KS3 students to The Octagon in Bury to enjoy the refreshingly funny take of all Shakespeare’s plays! They were of course well behaved and respectful and had fun! Thank you Ms Rawcliffe!

Staff Appreciation Morning - Staff came together to enjoy breakfast, while students handed out treats as a small token of thanks to all the adults who help make our school such a special place. A big thank you to staff for the difference you make every single day.
