On Friday, 22nd November our Year 7 and 8 students took part in a Swimming Festival to celebrate the completion of the MLT funded swimming lessons that they had been doing for the previous two weeks.  To cater for the various abilities of our students we ran both competitive swimming events, and non-competitive events such as the doggy paddle.  It was great to see the students giving the events a go and supporting their fellow students…. my ears are still ringing from the house relays!  Thank you to all the parents who came along to support the students, and to all the staff who helped make this event a success.
