Making Lunchtimes Legendary!

Updated: Jun 16, 2025

Pupils and staff are getting active with our new Get Up and Play initiative!

This exciting new programme strengthens connections between staff and students by encouraging fun, informal engagement outside the classroom. By getting involved, staff show they care beyond academics — and that simple gesture can greatly boost student motivation, engagement, and school pride.

Shared activities like football, basketball playoffs, and table tennis tournaments foster a stronger sense of community, inclusivity, and belonging — especially when students and staff collaborate or compete in a spirit of good fun.

These sessions also support student wellbeing by reducing stress and offering positive, energetic outlets during the school day.

To sign up pupils can do so via Class Charts & speak to our brilliant engagement team, led by Mr Burke.
