We look forward to welcoming back students today and also seeing our KS2 parents for teacher meetings this week on the West site. Unfortunately, Oak class will not have any teacher meetings this week due to staff illness- this will be rearranged.

Please check your spam folders for Arbor communications as parents are letting us know these are not always being received.

A busy and exciting day in the Business Department today, with 39 practice pitches delivered throughout the day for a new burger venture! Students had the opportunity to test their ideas, gain valuable feedback, and develop their presentation skills as they prepared to bring the next big burger brand to life. 🍔💡🚀

The KJAR Traitors has taken over our school this week! 🕵️📺

Throughout the week, students and staff have immersed themselves in the ultimate game of strategy, trust and deception. From exciting challenges and dramatic banishments to shocking murders and tense round tables, everyone has embraced the spirit of the game.

It has been fantastic to see so many students and staff getting involved, working together, and enjoying some friendly competition. Thank you to everyone who has taken part and helped make the event such a success.

✨ A little bookshop adventure! ✨📚

Last week, Ms Hill accompanied the four lucky winners of our Summer Reading Challenge prize draw to Bow Bookshop in Royston to spend their book tokens! 🎉📖

The students spent a lovely hour browsing the fantastic selection of new and pre-loved books, carefully choosing their next reads with their winnings. There were so many wonderful books to discover!

Afterwards, we headed back to school, where we couldn’t resist getting comfy in our East Site Library and diving straight into our new books. What better way to spend a lunch break? 📚

A huge well done to our four winners, and a big thank you to Bow Bookshop for helping us celebrate the joy of reading. Happy reading, everyone!
