Your Year 7 child will bring a letter home next week, please sign up and return to Science Department. School Musical Production A huge thank you and congratulations to the 34 students who took part in The Journey last week, our school musical production through some very famous musicals. The show went really well, thank you for coming and supporting the students; they have worked very hard with Mrs Knight and Mr O’Hanlon to stage this production. This was a success, we will definitely set up a new show next year!
