Website makeover and translation tool Our school website is getting a mini-makeover.

The redesigned site still houses key items such as our online c a l e n d a r , n e w s l e t t e r archive, photo galleries and homework pages but now has a few added features.

So, what’s new?

Well, the homepage now has direct links to photos, newsletters and our headteacher’s welcome message. You can also use the links on the left to translate the website into different languages, a valuable tool for our diverse community. If you have any ideas for improvements to our website we would love to hear from you.

This week we are replacing numbers with letters. If you’ve played Boggle before then away you go. If not, then the rules are very simple. Find as many words as you can with 3 or more letters. You can move vertically (up and down), horizontally (side to side) and diagonally.
