GIRLS FOOTBALL:
Congratulations to our past pupils who were members of the U16 girls football team which won the county final recently.
YOUR CHILD AND SECONDARY SCHOOL:
Choosing a secondary school for your child is a very important decision for parents. There have been major changes in recent years and the decision has to be made much earlier, normally in 5th class. We have contacted the local schools to provide you with the details you require to make an “informed” decision.
