Activities Week 2024
Activities Week: Monday 8th - Thursday 11th July
House Sports Day: Friday 12th July
"It's nearly here! The organisation of our ambitious Activities Week programme takes a lot of time of effort, but we think it's worth it to provide a week of valuable educational experiences which cannot be delivered during the course of the traditional school day.
Once again, THANK YOU to all of the teaching and support staff - especially Miss Fordyce - involved in the planning and delivery of Activities Week. A huge amount of staff are involved in the trips next week and we hope everyone has a great time.
Please meet at your meeting point 15 minutes before the time of departure to ensure trips are able to leave on time.
Have a great week!"
- Mr Kelly, Assistant Headteacher
