The Catering Department cooked a beautiful curry to finish the day.

Mr Owens organised a staff v pupil chess competition to finish the week.

Pupils have also had the opportunity during the week to visit the pop up bookshop at school, to look at purchasing a variety of books on wellbeing and nature to go alongside the Mental Health Awareness Week's theme of Nature.

It has been a busy and rewarding week.
