What a great start to a new half term and we can’t wait to see how many more housepoints will be earned in the weeks to come.
Our Weekly Class Housepoint Winner was Year 5 who earned an impressive 5 housepoints per pupil. Well done Year 5! What an awesome start to our new term!

The housepoints awarded to each team was:
In 3rd place with 258 housepoints is Gaya!
