Well done to all our 6th form footballers who took part in the annual Burgate 7's tournament! âš½
They played some brilliant football and represented our school really well showing excellent commitment, teamwork and sportsmanship.
We were runners up in both the girls and boys competitions with our boys narrowly losing out in the final in the last 5 seconds of the game after winning an exciting penalty shoot out in the semi finals! 😅
Really proud of our students - they were a pleasure to take and were a real credit to themselves and the school! Bring it on next year! 💜

On Thursday 9th October - our music and drama departments took 50 students to see the West End hit Blood Brothers on their UK tour at the Poole Lighthouse.
Students were visibly overwhelmed by the experience and reported that it 'never had a dull moment', that 'the whole experience was very enjoyable and the songs are still stuck in my head!'.
A good night was had by all and just goes to show that theatre is still a powerful medium enjoyed by students! - Ms Pereira & Mr Gallo
