Friday 27 March 2026 Gothic Story Writing Teddy Selby from Year 7 wrote a fabulous opening to a story this week. You can tell Teddy has taken inspiration from the Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. I love how the rhetorical questions make it seem so tense and the name of the family really adds to the gothic theme. Well done Teddy!

Friday 13 March 2026 Girls’ U13 Indoor Cricket On Tuesday, 10th March, the girls’ u13 indoor cricket team played in the North Lancashire finals at Bolton Arena. Having only played one game in qualification, the girls were lacking in match experience, but what they lacked in experience they certainly made up for in enthusiasm. They played three matches against some very experienced schools, and despite not winning a game they grew in confidence and made it a tight finish in the final match! A huge well done to all the girls involved, they should be so proud of their effort, application, and enthusiasm throughout.
