Well done to all of the pupils, staff and parents who played in the Staff/Parents v Pupils football challenge today. Four epic matches ended with a victory for the adults (again!).
Thank you to all the adult ‘volunteers’ who took part in the 2 hour football marathon. I hope you had as much fun as I did!
