Spring term theme - Hull
This term our theme is Hull and classes will be doing lots of work around this.

Christmas Production
For the first time we split the junior and senior/ six form Christmas production. Everyone appears to agree that this worked much better with both productions been the best in memory. Here are some photos of the junior production.
Christmas Jumper Day
Each department created a Christmas jumper - modelled by Mrs Moorcroft, Mr Percival and Mr Fenner. We voted by the cheer method, Mr Percival won by a resounding amount of noise - I think the skirt won it.
Christmas Preparations- Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Highly successful Christmas Fair
On Friday 23rd November we held our first Christmas fair. Pupils had made a wide range of Christmas treats including baubles, biscuits and cards. We pretty much all sold out and the pupils really enjoyed being stall holders, I think we may have a number of future top drawer sales people. The coffee and cakes also went down a treat. Pupils, parents, carers and visiting schools enjoyed the cinema experience were popcorn was shared while watching our music video. In all we made over £400 and would like to thank every one who participated.

Harvest 2018
Alfie (pupil) said our Harvest Festival was good and he liked all the singing. I think everyone agreed with him. The hall was packed with parents, carers, staff and pupils, chaotic, colourful, loud and great fun was how a parent described the event.
We sang a range of songs with many acted out by pupils, the ‘up jumps the scarecrow’ a firm favourite.
We asked for donations of food items and received a record amount, we have delivered all the food collected to Hull Harp. HullHarp provides numerous services to homeless people, including delivering homeless services from Dock House, Aspire and providing rough sleeper.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Today we held a very successful Macmillan coffee morning, attended by many visitors, parents, staff and of course pupils. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made and bought our cakes along with those who helped us host the charity event. We are still counting how much we raised and will post it on here when we know the final total.

Jeans for Genes Day
Friday 21st September saw a large number of pupils and staff attend school in their jeans, all in aid of a good cause. Jeans for Genes day is the annual event organised by Genetic Disorders UK.
Genetic Disorders UK is a national charity working to improve the lives of individuals and families living with a genetic disorder. They do this by providing resources and support directly to those affected, and to the charities and patient groups dedicated to a single genetic disorder or related group of genetic disorders.
A pupil collected the money from each class and we raised nearly £200.
