- 27 Mar 2026What a fantastic way to end the Easter term! Our Year 8 students, alongside the remaining Year 7s, had an amazing time celebrating their Easter reward with a brilliant game of Bongo's Bingo! From exciting prizes ranging from cereal to an Elvis Presley life-size cut-out, there was laughter, energy and plenty of unforgettable moments throughout. A huge thank you to our amazing staff who fully embraced the fun by dressing up – from chickens to superheroes – and for being such great sports during the interval challenges! A special thank you goes to our incredible Year 6 DJ (Little Chaotic) who kept the atmosphere buzzing and to every student who took part and made the event such an enjoyable one!View This Post
