• Christmas Cheer!!

  As part of our drive in Fleet House to develop the community role of our Prefects, we visited Shadon House in Barley Mow. Shadon House is a residential/respite facility for older people with dementia. The Prefects organised a craft session which included making Christmas cards and painting Christmas decorations. Kim West also entertained the residents will a Christmas dance. The prefects also served tea, coffee and Christmas nibbles. The afternoon was a huge success with the staff at the home being extremely complimentary about the students and the pleasure they had given the residents. Thanks to Jodie Simpson (organiser), Chelsea Burn, Rachel Gray, Rachel Keeping, Rebecca Sheriff and Kim West.

• Congratulations to Amy Sutton 8ARN She recently captained the North East Under14 Girls Team to a very impressive 10th place in the Regional Championships held at Lillieshall.
