Year 7 Tree Planting
The whole of Year 7 have recently been involved in planting Rowan trees on the school grounds, which in years to come will provide an effective wind-break. By the time Year 7 reach Year 9 they will be able to make jam from the berries of these trees, also as part of their Agricultural Science lessons. dave Chandler of Three Valleys water, who Mr. Short describes as: "A genuine country man who used to work on the big country estates" helped lead the tree planting sessions, over two days. He was assisted by Annabel Mora.

Cycling
A number of people have asked me, and a few more people signed up at the Year 6 into 7 evening, so we shall run a cycling proficiency course here in the autumn term. Students should lock their bikes in the shed for security.
Boxing
This is in room 63 at 1.30 on Thursdays. Occasionally we do an extra day on a Friday but I cannot undertake to do this every week.
