🧱✨ One Brick Can Build a Brighter Future! ✨🧱 We’re excited to share this incredible LEGO animation created by one of our talented Year 8 students! 🎬🌟 This creative project highlights the amazing work of Haven House Hospice and shows how shopping and donating at their charity shops - and official eBay store - helps support local children and families when they need it most. 💙 Watch the bricks come to life and discover how your pre-loved items can make a real and lasting difference in the community. Every donation, purchase and act of support helps build brighter futures. 🧱❤️ 🎥 Take a look and be inspired by both the student’s creativity and the impact of Haven House Hospice.

Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.
