Grammar, spelling etc.......

One thing that parents tend to comment on is 'my son can't spell- what can I do?', or 'don;t teachers teach grammar any more?'.

This site is a great place for students to go to find advice and practice grammar activities -

It attempts to explain rules, give examples and sets up practice activities.....

Literature Week & Dress up Day

Another great week promoting literature in the school culminated in Dress Up Day on the last day of term. Awesome involvement from the Yr 7 & 8's, Yr 13's and the staff. Thanks to all the parents who encouraged their kids to take part -

These Yr 13's had a fun day!

We thought this Wizard of Oz group was very clever!



As were the Three Blind Mice!
