ERA Points We are pleased to announce that students have been awarded over 25,000 ERA points in 10 weeks . At the current rate, this means we are on track to reach that magic 100,000 before the end of the academic year. An amazing effort; please encourage your children to keep up the good work.

Children In Need Montsaye Challenge Thank you to everyone who supported our Children In Need Challenge last week. Collectively, our students travelled 3,701km in their PE lessons, which is just over two and a half times the length of the United Kingdom (this included over 100km by our World Challenge students at the weekend). We have raised over £300.00 for this worthwhile cause.
