Today has been a very sad day for everybody connected with the school. Thank you for all the thoughts and kind wishes. The kindness and compassion which our students have shown to each other in such difficult circumstances is something they should be very proud of.
Today we donated some of our brand new science safety glasses to a local nursing home, who had contacted us. They explained care staff were in need of some vital eye PPE. We hope you and the residents are all well and safe
