A huge thank you to our talented Y8 Art Ambassadors, Summer and Hollie, for designing and painting this beautiful Remembrance display for Astley Bridge Park! This year’s challenge was to design a new Cenotaph for the park, and we are keeping everything crossed that Summer and Hollie’s fantastic design wins! 🌺❤️

Some of our fantastic Y7 & Y8 students headed to Talking Tables this lunchtime! They were so polite, friendly and chatty that the ladies were singing their praises! Before heading off, they enjoyed a well-deserved pizza lunch as a reward for their brilliant entries in the Oracy Competition a couple of weeks ago! We are so proud of how wonderfully they represented our school! 💜
