It's only Tuesday and we have our third set of visitors of the week in today! We're excited to be welcoming Box Clever Theatre @CleverTheatre to Orchard to perform Macbeth to our GCSE English and Drama students 🎭. Have a great day, one and all.
DEBATE MATE is back! @Debate_Mate The club will run every Tues, 3 -4pm. Students will learn the art of public speaking & how to debate in a formal setting. It's fun & will help to raise confidence, self-esteem, empathy, & resilience. See Ms Marsh in G33 if you're interested.
We are getting excited about September - especially as all of our KS3 students (Years 7 - 9) will be reading every morning. We're going to Tweet out the novels and blurb, and they're on our website too. Today we're sharing our Year 7 list - enjoy! https://t.co/pdPOLf7ajl
