Staff Winners

The Secondary Maths team impressed again this year. Last year’s BFG theme was exchanged for what we thought was an Alice in wonderland theme. However, when the department stood in the correct order ....we had the numbers of PI! Very clever and great team spirit again!

Ms Giles – Head of History and Secondary School production Costume designer.

Last year, Ms Giles impressed as the Trunchbull from Roald Dahl’s Matilda but this year students were astonished to be taught by Effie Trinket – the fashionable Capitol-born chaperone from ‘The Hunger Games series’ by Suzanne Collins!
