Goodbye Mr Onions
On Friday we said goodbye to Mr Onions with a special assembly in his honour. Mr Onions has been our site manager for 20 years. We looked back at all the good times he had at the school with photographs and songs one which was made especially for Mr Onions and sung by the children.
It was a funny, emotional and fitting tribute to a much loved man. We will miss him and hope he enjoys his well earned retirement.

Commonwealth Games Gymnast Courtney Tulloch Visits the School
On a wet and windy Monday afternoon we were very fortunate to welcome Courtney Tulloch to our school to deliver an assembly to the children following his gymnastic success in the Commonwealth Games. Courtney previously came to the school two years ago and spoke to the children about his dreams and aspirations for the future, so we were very excited that he agreed to come back and update the children.
Courtney competed in the rings and vault final as well as the team event in Australia. The team won gold after competing on the various apparatus which was a fantastic start! Courtney then went on to the rings and once again after a faultless routine won the gold medal for Team England. Finally the vault final loomed and Courtney performed a superb vault and gained a silver medal to take his tally to three medals in total.
