A massive shoutout to Theo C for hitting an absolute dream shot over the weekend—a HOLE-IN-ONE at Normanby Golf Club! 🎯

What makes this ace even more insane? It was Theo's very first time stepping foot on the course. We... already know he’s a force to be reckoned with back home as a successful member at Seaton Carew Golf Club, but showing up somewhere brand new and sinking an ace on day one? Pure class.

📚✨ World Literacy Day Recap! ✨📚

Last week, we celebrated World Literacy Day with a fantastic Literacy Pop-Up during break time! 📖💜

Our pupils brought so much enthusiasm to the day by:
📖 Sharing what they’re currently reading
🌍 Taking part in fun ...quizzes about reading traditions around the world
✍️ Submitting entries to our poetry competition for a chance to get published!

Miss Eglintine and Miss Johnson were so impressed to see so many pupils getting involved, sharing their love of books, and discovering just how powerful words can be. 💜📚

This was just the first of many to come! Keep an eye out for more pop-up events during break times throughout the year. 👀🎉

Keep reading, keep writing, and keep exploring! 🌎✨
