Court yard cleared!

Thank you to all students who helped to clear the courtyard yesterday. It looks better already! Hopefully some of the plant in the greenhouse will be ready to plant when we get back after the holidays. Sam and Ashlee I am looking forward to your ideas for the next phase!

Blackpool shaken!

A small earthquake struck Blackpool at 3.30am in the morning. It measured 2.2 on the Richter scale and caused cracks to appear in a bridge that was already classed as 'weak'. Some residents reported wardrobe doors being flung open and police at the nearby station felt the building shake.

World Water Day - Well done and thank you.

Firstly, thank you to Mr Sexton who allowed students to throw wet sponges at him at lunchtime on Thursday 24th March. In the 40mins over lunchtime that we held the event many of you took up the challenge with several being fairly successful at soaking him!
Congratulations to the winners of the two evian bottles filled with sweets. Winners were Victoria Bower (yr 10) and Josh Hugill (yr 11) who were both only 1 away from the exact answer for each bottle (410 and 386). Money raised from the bottles and in the 40mins spent throwing sponges at Mr Sexton was raised £68.09. This has been divided between the two charities we are raising money for this year: Wateraid and Cancer charities.
