Successes– Well done to Nikodem, Marques, Evie, Lucas, Nisa, James, Aarav, Holly and Sh’zane who all got merits this week.

An enormous thank you and well done to Leen, Emiliana, Lucy and Ryan who organised Wear It Wild this week. It was an amazing success. Although we do not have a final figure yet, it looks as though Howard School has raised around £500! Well done!

We also need to give a special thank you to all the parents who donated cakes or time or found the time to provide a costume for their child. Without you, none of it would happen.
