After School Clubs & Competitions
To bring a distraction to the pupils’ week we run a selection of after school activities and competitions. These provide a different focus and experience whilst at home, as well as some fun.
This week we continue with our Art Studio‘s Art Leaders’ Lockdown Club Creative, Mr Thomas’ Latin Club and Frau Trotter’s Duolingo German Competition and also add Ms Mitchell’s Open the Lock Puzzle.
Open the Lock Puzzle

You’ve no doubt seen this on social media, but have you opened the lock? Ms Mitchell is offering a chocolatey prize to the first student from each year! Email or message Ms Mitchell in Teams with the correct answer. Staff are also welcome to have a go! Prizes to be collected upon our return to school.
