On the final day of term, Spartans organised a charity dog walk in aid of the Dogs' Trust. Families were invited to come along for a hot drink and a stroll while searching for Easter clues in the grounds. The Spartans team sold biscuits and cakes, as well as homemade doggie treats! In total, more than £100 was raised for the house charity. You will note from the photos that there were two colours in particular that all staff and pupils were wearing on the day. Running alongside the main event, the school community decided to also raise funds for various Ukrainian aid charities, and to show our achknowledgment of and support for all those affected, everyone wore as much blue and yellow as possible.
