The project, which is due to be officially handed over on 23 October following the completion of final works, has seen the installation of 426 solar panels across four buildings including the Maths and Science block, Sports Centre, Library and Humanities building.

Thank you to our Facilities Manager who has achieved this major milestone in our long term sustainability journey

Our Year 7 teams signed up to pit their Roald Dahl knowledge against each other and after a tense 3-way tie the outright quiz winners were Olivia 7P, Henry 7S & Ted 7P.

They all won some Roald Dahl goodies, including chocolate, of course. The final fling (literally!) was for students to see who had the golden ticket under their chair - so Emma 7S2 won an extra chocolate bar!

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to this quiz, earning lots of house points and making it such great fun.

I hope everyone who took part enjoyed their first Library event!
