House System

Congratulations to St Andrew’s! The won house of the week last week.

The whole school took part in the house day. It was a tremendous success! The pupils took part in a number of activities, including name the mascot, design a house scarf, create a motto, house assembly and wide game. Each house took part in the wide game and St Margaret’s were winners. It was wonderful to see the older children working and helping the younger ones.

Well done one and all!
