Our Y7/8 footballers did us proud last night.
They entered the KE Foundation Tournament as underdogs with not much experience but performed exceptionally well. Beating Camp Hill Girls, drawing against the eventual winners (KE High School for Girls) and not losing a single game!
We garnered 260 signatures from tutor groups across the academy during our whole school 'Remembering Srebrenica' assembly last week. We
