Summer programme in full swing

The school is very busy at the moment. There are many different accents to be heard in the school. The world cup has been popular viewing and we have held several pizza and world cup matches on the big screen nights.
The social programme is expanded for the summer and there are excursions every Saturday in addition to something happening most weekday evenings too. This weekend we are going to Leeds Armouries. This trip was a success last year as the weather was good. So far the weather has been glorious this year too, fingers crossed for the weekend.
