IMPORTANT NOTICES
Rugby Fixtures Autumn 2014 - Senior Boys rugby fixtures for the Autumn Term can be found on the school sports website also via the sports link. These have also been emailed out. One important reminder is that our fixtures against Halliford take place on Saturday 18 October which is the first Saturday of half term. I would be most grateful if boys could be available for what is always a very well contested fixture.
We would like to say a big Thank You to our PTA – who support the school in many ways, organise and run events during the year and raise funds for lots of extra equipment.
