Every donation is a true gift and is greatly appreciated We were blown away today, though, by the sheer generosity of one of our families who donated five brand new coats to our cause The difference that they, and every donated coat, will make to some of our boys and their families is immense.

To coincide with the launch of our Foodbank Appeal , this week's assemblies in school have been about spreading the awareness of their use, and the huge impact that each of us donating just one item can make to a local family who will depend upon our kindness . Led by our Office for Community and Charity, the message was clear - "A simple act of kindness creates an endless ripple" . Excellent, thought-provoking work, boys, that has been heard by every student in school The video below was used to sustain the momentum of the ripple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMnEP2DYfmI *(Spoiler alert - you may shed a tear )

Sustainability on Track! As part of the Tameside Tracks project, our talented Design & Technology students have created bug houses shaped like mini trains a brilliant blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and care for the environment. These little habitats will help support biodiversity and encourage wildlife to thrive around the station. An amazing outcome from an amazing team!

Headteacher's Recognition Reward - A fun exchange was had today as the excitable bunch above were each congratulated for their fantastic week last week! Excellent class work, mind-blowing individual fundraising efforts (£600 for Reuben's Retreat) and the usual highest achievement points in their year group made up today's gathering at Ms Cronin's table Boys discussed their approval of more non-uniform days, as well as of the introduction of many new activities, such as drama, and improvements to buildings and yard areas; putting this down to feeling that their voices matter - because they absolutely do! Great work, boys, and fantastic to hear your thoughts today, too
