🎁 Operation Christmas Child – A Little Thank You! 🎁 We're so grateful to everyone who is getting involved in our shoebox appeal! As a little thank you, every pupil who brings in a completed shoebox will receive: 5 House Points from their form tutor 🍪 A packet of sweet treats to take home and enjoy with their family! 📦 Still want to take part? There's time! 👫 Pupils can fill a shoebox with their family or team up with friends to share the cost and items. 📍 Need a box? See Miss Cox in Room 18. 📅 Deadline: Monday 9th November 2026 Completed boxes can be brought into school and kept safely in form rooms until collection. As always, taking part is completely optional, with no pressure on families to contribute. Thank you for helping us spread a little kindness this Christmas! Small shoeboxes, big differences! 🎁

👕🎉 PTFA Non-Uniform Days 2026–2027! 🎉👕 We're sharing our planned non-uniform dates for the year so families can plan ahead! 📅 💷 £1 donations can be made through Arbor or by bringing cash into school. 🍫 Our November non-uniform day will be a chocolate donation instead of £1, and our disco days are for the relevant key stages only. All money raised helps support school events and activities, including Prom! We'll send reminders nearer each event and confirm any outstanding dates. Thank you for your continued support! 🌟 The PTFA

📣 Calling all Anti-Bullying Ambassadors! 💙 Our ABAs have a new design challenge! We would love them to create ideas for the area around our school bench, using themes such as kindness, unity, respect, positivity, inclusion and belonging. Design sheets have been given to form tutors, and there will also be spare copies available from the ABA display board. Completed designs should be returned to Miss Cox in Room 18 during Anti-Bullying Week, 16–20 November. We'll be using pupils' ideas to help shape the final design for school, so we can't wait to see how creative they get! 🌟 Thank you for supporting our ABAs at home. 💛

As part of Anti-Bullying Week (16–20 November 2026), we are celebrating this year's theme, "Break the Silence". On Monday 16 November, pupils are invited to wear their craziest, brightest odd socks to celebrate individuality and our differences! 🧦 We are also holding a Sock Puppet Competition! Pupils can get creative at home and make their own sock puppet, bringing it to Miss Cox in Room 18 on Monday 16 November. Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors (ABAs) will be invited to Room 18 during breaktimes and lunchtimes to judge the entries. Winners will receive a sweet treat and a special mention in Friday's Special Mentions Assembly (20 November). 🏆 We can't wait to see everyone's colourful socks and wonderful creations!
