- 22 Jan 2026Well done to the Y5/6 football team. They played in the EFL Utilita Cup hosted by Port Vale today. The team played some amazing football only losing 1 game but missing out on a quarter final place by goal difference. Well done to all involved.View This Post
- 22 Jan 2026A little late, but for a lovely reason... Before Christmas, our talented Year 7 students created these fantastic Clarice Cliff inspired, bottle kiln candle holders. The designs were influenced by Clarice Cliff's bold patterns and strong links to the pottery industry, with students carefully shaping, decorating and finishing each piece by hand. This post is a little delayed as we didn't want to spoil the surprise and hope these made very special Christmas presents to those lucky enough to receive one. We're incredibly proud of the creativity, craftsmanship and effort shown by Year 7.View This Post
