The boys had a great night this evening celebrating the life of the great Scottish poet Robbie Burns. Although the 25th January is actually the official Burn's night, we were all able to enjoy the traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties before we listened to a toast to the lassie, from our Head of House Tom, followed by a response form Prapti from Summerhill.  We then all went over to the sports hall to dance the celidh accompanied by the staff band of Mr Burgeon, Mr Knights and Mr Chua.  Mrs Brown did a superb job explaining each dance and then calling the moves. Great fun had by the whole boarding community!

Congratulations Josh

Huge Congratulations to Josh in year 11 who has just been offered a professional football contract with Bristol Rovers.  This is a superb achievement bearing in mind the huge competition for these contracts.  A just reward for all the hard work that Josh has put in so far. Best of luck in the future Josh as a professional footballer.

The dream!

Trampolining visit to Swindon

House Entertainment

The annual Christmas entertainment took place the day before we broke up for the holidays.  We went ice skating with the girls from Fonthill and then onto Jimmy's for a fantastic buffet meal.  The evening was a great way to round off the first term.  Below are some of the boys and girls having fun.
