- 20 Jan 2026Fantastic turnout for Darts Club We have been really pleased with the level of interest on the first day of it. The club has been hugely popular with pupils, showing great enthusiasm, focus, and sportsmanship each week. It has been brilliant to see so many students keen to take part and develop their skills in a fun and supportive environment. Due to the high demand, the club will run as follows: KS2 Darts Club runs on Tuesdays with Mr Birtles. KS3 Darts Club runs on Thursdays with Mr Bowers. Thank you to all pupils for their enthusiasm and to parents for their continued support. Thank you once again to Midlands Darts for the supply of one of the boards. As well as all the kind donations from the staff.View This Post
