Another brilliant visit from our partner school Swindon Academy yesterday! This time the Year 7s got stuck into a fiendish escape room activity, while the Year 12s worked on their EPQ research. Looking forward to our next round of activities with the Year 8s! #PartnershipsWeek

Year 5s from Marlborough St Mary’s dropped by yesterday for an afternoon of magical Harry Potter challenges and quizzing. Luckily Hagrid was with us to lead the activities; the children were so excited to meet him that they all wanted an autograph afterwards! Pics below… 👇📷🧙‍♂️
