🫀 Restart A Heart Live

This week, most of our school took part in Restart A Heart Live, joining thousands of others across the country to learn vital life-saving skills. Pupils engaged in hands-on CPR training and discovered how to use a defibrillator in an emergency. It was an inspiring and empowering experience, helping our students understand how they can make a real difference in critical situations.

Our pupils  took part in the DEMAT football competition on Friday and delivered an outstanding performance— winning eight matches, drawing one, and losing just one to finish 4th overall. But the real highlight was being awarded the Best Sportsmanship trophy, a huge honour voted for by all the other schools. This recognition reflects the team’s respect, teamwork, and positive attitude both on and off the pitch. We couldn’t be prouder! ⚽👏

We’re thrilled to announce that thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of our PTA, our school now has a full set of iPads and laptops for pupils to use across the curriculum. Each device is safely encased to help protect against screen breakages—keeping our tech secure and ready for learning.


This generous support means our students can explore, create, and collaborate more than ever before. From coding to research projects, the possibilities are endless.


A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved—we’re so grateful for your dedication to enhancing our learning environment!
