'Right Here, Write Now' Writing Competition Winners

'Right Here, Write Now' Writing Competition
 
The English department invited the whole school to write creatively on any aspect of lockdown as a positive way of responding to such a difficult subject.  It gave writers an opportunity to show off their creative talents as well as, perhaps, voice their concerns, vent their spleens, tackle their grief and grievances, and share their hopes.  This optional competition attracted well over 100 entries from all parts of the school, including some sharp and quirky staff entries.  There will be a display made of many of the entries including the lower school winners, runners-up and highly commended along the English corridor.  I attach the winning entries from Years 7, 8 & 9. Winners will receive a book token and the runners-up a bar of chocolate.  Well done to everyone who entered.  Mr Reynolds

With the main purpose of supporting the school by fundraising temporarily on hold due to Covid, the PFA are looking to bring together a new team, ready for action, trustfully to start work again very soon! 
 
During our meeting we will look to fill the following PFA member positions:
 
Chair Person

All of these positions are currently held, with the exception of the last, which is a new post. Please do not be discouraged to join our meeting, if you feel that you might be obliged to take a post. There are plenty of opportunities to help with our PFA quiz and silent auction, Christmas fundraising, parent evening refreshments and tuck shops and also all new fundraising ideas are very welcome.
