Over the course of this year the school has been fielding ideas from staff and students about a proposed Key Stage 3 'Bucket List' for Year 7 and 8 students to experience during their time in school.
The lure of social media and internet driven culture has made many of the simple pleasures in life an unknown experience to the next generation of youngsters.
With this in mind, the school would like to ask our parents and carers for a bucket list of experiences young people may never get to do outside of school. These can be very simple, as seen from the suggestions staff and students have compiled below.
