What a week we’ve had! Perhaps the pinnacle has been the amazing work our Y9 and Y10 students did with @talkthetalkUK . We are so proud of everyone: whether super confident already or finding public speaking daunting, you were amazing. #feelsmart (if you know, you know)

Fancy getting your hands on a shiny English Champion badge? Bronze awards have gone out today to our Y10 Reading Champions, who are working towards Silver next. Get involved with all things English - clubs, competitions etc - and see if you can earn one, too!

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, so we haven’t. One of these boxes is in the staffroom; the other was used by our Y10 Reading Champions to select their next new read. #WBD2023

May your day be gruntled, ruthful, gormful, and ruly.
