First time I’ve ever won a raffle and this arrived this morning from this weekend’s excellent Parents’ Association fair. So all is above board will be donating to brilliant school keeping team who did so much in the background to set it all up.

@ElthamDrama New drama office and now new drama garden. Hope to inspire even more students to take this important subject and follow in footsteps of former Elthamians now acting on stage and screen

I love this stage of preparation for the new school year - new labs and rooms buzzing as we get everything finished for the start of term. It’s going to be amazing but like every make over programme will be working right over the bank holiday to meet the deadline
