Mr. Lanoe would like to say a big thank you to Year 8 for a thoroughly enjoyable week in Devon. They were wonderful company, and endlessly entertaining. Here are a few final shots of yesterday’s hike on Dartmoor.

Year 8 - with worsening traffic on the A46, ETA is now closer to 5.30pm.

Year 8 ETA update. Following traffic delays, we have had to stop for a mandatory driver rest of 45 minutes, and will therefore be at the leisure centre for 5.15pm.

Ultimate Frisbee with shade and drinks breaks! Colour of the grass tells the story of this early summer!

Year 8 ETA is currently 4.30pm at Stratford Leisure Centre but may be put back by 45 mins if we need a driver stop. Watch this space.

Super Sports Day!
