Inter House Competitions

So last week saw some interesting battles in the inter house dodgeball lunchtime competitions. Overall Scarp were the winners after winning two out of the three events competitions. A big well done to all those who came along and took part, we had over half the school participating!

This week we have Strictly Come Ceilidh on Friday. There was a fantastic number of pupils rehearsing today at Lunchtime. There is still time for you to get involved, you can come along and practice at lunchtimes in the dance studio....teachers are welcome too!

In the coming weeks we will have more Inter House Events so keep checking the notice board in the foyer for information.
