Today we celebrate the power of literature to transport us to new worlds, introduce us to new ideas, and inspire us to be our best selves. Our pupils and staff have gone above and beyond, dressing up as some of their most loved characters in literature.

Happy St David's Day to all our pupils, staff, and alumni! We gathered together in the Assembly Hall to celebrate our namesake and paid tribute by promoting his message of unity, kindness, and humility. Let's continue to spread these values in our community and beyond.
