We love to celebrate pupils' achievements outside of school as we know so many of our pupils participate in additional activities, whether in The Arts, Sports, Languages, Education, or anything your chils is involved in.
This week, we are delighted to bring you news on two of our girls: Lyla in Year 1 and Poppy in Year 5.
