So proud of this group of girls! Great game tonight against Diss. A win, but more importantly for me a true master class in grit, determination, teamwork and communication. Player of the match was Heidi Dunnett. So proud to be your teacher girls! #teamwork https://t.co/UDS0Nc0qqK

We're looking forward to welcoming students back for a Week B! Please don't forget to take your lateral flow test before breakfast and don't forget your mask. The number of students self-isolating fell massively because of masks, so let's be safe in the run up to Christmas!

Regular covid testing is quick, easy, and free, and is key to catching the virus early and stopping it from spreading. That’s why secondary school students and staff without symptoms should be taking lateral flow tests at home twice a week. https://t.co/AplXjhU7jU
