It was lovely to welcome Leigh MP, Jo Platt into the library today. Students had a really positive discussion with Jo about the importance of reading, the value of young people having a voice in politics, and their ideas for Leigh’s future. Thank you to Jo for visiting us and well done to all the students who took part in such an important conversation. ... See MoreSee Less

World Book Day 2026 – what an amazing week of activities we have had! 📚 It has been fantastic to see so many students getting involved in celebrating reading across the school. 😁 In the library, students have been taking part in a range of activities including: • Blind Date with a Book • Bookmark Making • The World Book Day National Token Competition • Poetry & Pizza • A Short Story Competition • Drop Everything and Read We also invited our Word Millionaires to take part in a special World Book Day quiz, where they enjoyed pizza and chips as a celebration of their fantastic reading achievements. Around school, staff and students have also been getting involved in the celebrations. The Maths department dressed as Where’s Wally and created a code-breaking challenge for students to solve, with prizes for those who cracked the code. Mrs Rooney, Miss Jones and Miss Perry also visited classrooms across the school asking World Book Day quiz questions and spreading some reading cheer. Students loved getting involved and showing off their book knowledge. Our Masked Reader challenge has also begun and will continue during form time over the next week. Students must guess which teacher is reading a book extract in a silly or disguised voice. Forms are also invited to take part in the Decorate Your Door competition, which runs until Friday 13th March, so there is still plenty of time to enter. The winning form will receive a prize. Prizes for the competitions will be given out by the end of next week. The best short stories and poems will be shared around school and on our social media pages, so keep an eye out. A huge thank you to all staff and students who have helped make this such a wonderful week celebrating books and reading. ☺️ Students can also collect their World Book Day vouchers from the library. Happy Reading! 💛🎉📚🎈👏 ... See MoreSee Less

Success at the School Games
Well done to 9 of our students from Years 7, 8, and 9 who took part in the School Games inclusive football tournament on Wednesday.
The boys put in a great performance, winning all of their matches and representing the school with distinction.
Mr. Duffy noted that it was excellent to see students from across the borough playing in the right spirit, highlighting the teamwork, leadership, and friendship on display.
Our students did themselves proud—congratulations to everyone involved!

Our Wednesday After School club have started their 6 week fishing course, lead by two Fishing Coaches from Top Cast Angling at Partridge Lakes. We spent an hour and a half, where everyone got a chance to use the rods and all but 2 people caught a fish. We had two Year 10 pupils who do a lot of fishing, come with us as Lead Learners working with the coaches to help everyone. They did an amazing job and very much impressed the coaches. We caught 10 fish - some big and some small! We had lots of fun and learned how to spot when a fish had bitten and we needed to start reeling in. We can't wait for next week! ... See MoreSee Less
