Something we're currently monitoring in school is that some children are playing games at playtime that could be related to the Netflix show, Squid Game. Whilst the show itself is rated 15 and is unsuitable for viewing for any and all of our children, it appears that there are now online games (eg. Roblox), memes and social media (Tik Tok [...]
A wonderful after-school athletics competition with (and against!) the other schools in our Cooperative Trust. It's been a very long time since our last inter-school competition! Well done team... Excellent effort and brilliant teamwork! [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

We had such a fab afternoon and loved his answers to our millions of questions! We were even the [...]
