A reminder that on Thursday of next week (10th) pupils are invited to wear something 'bright' to brighten up the world just that little bit. Although the official idea is to wear yellow, we appreciate many of the pupils might not have this colour in their wardrobes - this is why we have suggested bright colours!

We will be re-launching My Happy Mind (our mental health curriculum) on this day.

We are fortunate to be taking part in the Asda Heroes programme this year. Pupils will learn about sustainability issues such as food waste and hunger and understand how this impacts the local community. They will then plan a project which could improve the local community. A group of pupils visited Asda's headquarters last week for the launch of the project.

Well done to the U11s girls who played a hard fought match against Blakehill this week which ended in a draw. Well done all!

Congratulations to Low Ash Primary under 9s! They went unbeaten in the Hanson Delta football tournament this week. All the schools did really well with some fantastic football on show and all the games were played in good spirit.

All tours will be led by a member of the school's leadership team and will last for approximately one hour.
