    James Bateman is getting into the festive spirit! Our talented Art Club has been hard at work creating a beautiful handmade Christmas wreath, and it's looking absolutely incredible! From delicate bottle kiln decorations to baubles featuring our very own school logo, every detail has been crafted with creativity, care, and plenty of festive cheer. We're so proud of our students and the amazing effort they put into bringing a little extra magic to our school this season.
