Alsop’s Poem of the Day is written by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling’s advice, on rightful behaviour, links beautifully with Harper Lee’s character of Atticus: To Kill a Mockingbird! Enjoy!
Even better, try reading it out loud!
There are no words to explain how outstanding our pupils have been this last week. In this time of uncertainty, they have shown maturity, kindness & compassion. We are so very proud of them all

Thank you so much for all your kind words about Broghan yesterday. We had a day of Twitter silence out of respect but we will be sure to pass on all your thoughts to her parents. She was a true inspiration who will be missed very much.
Broghan, you lit up every room with your smile & your pure heart. We will be thinking about your family & friends today as they say their goodbyes. We will remember you always, lots of love, your Alsop family xx
These are the amazing staff who gave up their time a week before Christmas to make sure that the pupils on the ski trip had an experience of a lifetime. They are the embodiment of

Memories, tears, heartbreak and laughs
