One group went to Paris
and another met our French exchange partners.

and our Sixth Form had mock Oxbridge interviews.
In the theatre we took part in Drama workshops
and listened to Joanna, a Holocaust surviver.
We went to Germany to meet our friends
and to visit the Christmas markets.
We took part in Bikeability
and played football in the sun.
We learnt about Marine Biology
and accepted the NMA Engineering Challenge.
We created Roman mosaics

We were creative at school

Our staff had fun too!
