On Monday we took the U14 and U16 Girls teams to the Black Country Badminton Finals at @wlv_uni. To get there they had to win 2 previous tournaments against other schools!
After some intense games against tough competition, the U14 girls came 3rd and U16's 4th.
Well done! 😀
Last Thursday was Harry Potter Book Night all around the globe! We decided to celebrate with a huge Harry Potter quiz in the library and some yummy cake. 🧁

Year 10 students recently went on a campus experience day at @wlv_uni through @AspiretoHE.
They learnt all about the social & extra-curricular opportunities available and took part in various activities to get them thinking about their own personal skillset and next steps.
Our four house shields are now sitting proudly around school!
The question is... which house will be crowned champion at the end of the school year? #AMBITION 🏆
