Happy New Year

wonderful Christmas and a

the run up to Christmas, with
their amazing performance in
their first Carol Service being a
highlight of the term. They
impressed us all last term with
their attitude to learning and
mature approach to life around
school. The Spring Term will be
another busy term culminating
in the performance of Ali Baba
and the Bongo Bandits
