    Sixth Form Christmas Celebrations


    On Friday 14th December, Year 12 and 13 pupils came to school wearing their Christmas Jumpers, ready for a day of fun and festivities at our Christmas Fair that they had organised for our younger pupils.  Not only did everyone contribute £1 for the pleasure of wearing their jumpers to school, they also planned and organised several stalls which were run throughout lunch time for years 7-10.  There was a Chocolate Fountain, Pin the Nose on Rudolph, Mocktail Bar, Basketball Shoot Out, Cake and Sweet stalls.  One form also organised a photo booth, using our advanced media and green room equipment.
