New Dining Furniture

Wed 23 Nov 2016 L. Andrews

After having the same dining furniture for 20 years plus the governors agreed to update and improve the lunchtime routine by investing in tables that reduce the number of repetitive movements to get set up for lunch.

As you can see from the photo's Mrs Morris our senior Midday Supervisor and Mr Wall who have born the brunt of this task for the last 20 years are very happy. In addition to this improvement the hall will be much easier to set up for impromptu group work or as a contingency in the event that the one of the classrooms becomes unusable.

School Council Pay Their Respects

At 11 ‘o’clock on the 11^th of November, the School Councillors and Mr Cocking went to the cenotaph, in Eckington, to pay our respects to the people who fought and died for us in war.
