The event not only gave pupils the chance to learn a new skill, but also to share their knowledge of one form of bullying with their peers by showing their presentation during Tutor Times before, during and after Anti Bullying Week. I will also be writing to our colleagues in the curriculm linked Primary Schools to see if they are interested in watching any of the presentations in the coming weeks.

This is what some of the pupils had to say about their day:

'It was great fun' - Charlie
'I liked the role play' - Jack
'It was great fun. Jan and Judith from ChildLine were really nice and helpful and so were all the other people who came in. Thank you' - Erika
'I enjoyed it' - Josh
'The best bit was putting our presentation together' - Daniella
'I really enjoyed it because it got everyone involved and we were taught a lot' - Rachel

All the pupils and agencies who took part enjoyed their day and I would like to thank them all for making the day so successful.

The Staff and Parents’ Association is selling nearly new uniform as well as brand new, grey boys/girls' trousers and skirts. If you are interested in having a look at what is on sale, you may come along to the school anytime during school hours and a member of staff will show you.

The brand new uniform is selling at £9 for trousers and £6 for skirts.

All nearly new uniform is priced separately and range from 50p to a few pounds. Why not come and have a look?

“The 200 Club” is a simple way for you to support the S&PA, and thereby the School.

You pay £1 per month (£12 per year) and are given your own number. We then draw two numbers every month. The first prize is £25 and the second is £15. Twice a year we do an extra draw when someone wins £100. Even if your number is drawn, it gets put straight back so you can win again and again!

It’s called “The 200 Club" because the ideal number of members is 200 – simple really! If we keep this number up we can raise a significant amount of money. This money is then allocated to various departments so that they can buy additional resources that the School would otherwise not be able to afford and thus enhance the teaching of our children.

The chances of winning are far greater than the National Lottery, so why not join today? Just fill in the application form and send it in, together with a cheque or a standing order mandate.

Please print off the form and return to Margaret King, 200 Club co-ordinator, at the School, care of the S&PA 200 Club. Thank you.
