A big shout out to Miss Binns - she has not only done Gummers How twice a day, alongside two practice walks on Saturday she has given the Y7 a great resileince camp. 12,000 steps per walk - our maths make that at least 96,000 steps in a week!
A huge congratulations to Bailey who signed his professional football scholarship yesterday. So very proud of everything you have achieved Bailey and can’t wait to see you running out of that tunnel.
The 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, 100 years on we were privileged to be part of the parade at Menin Gate. Words are not enough.
