This is so much more than just a summer school. Heartfelt thanks to all staff, participants, families and supporters for backing this year’s charity, and for your well wishes for my daughter. To say we are overwhelmed would be an understatement. Mark, you remain a total legend
So here is a remarkable thing. Alongside writing their own song, the children have also been busy working on a cover version. This was put together by our mentors in years 10-12. They decided to work on this during the downtime and breaks during the week... truly astonishing

For the first time in history the children team beat the staff in our annual charity football match. Raising £30 for
@maggiesnott
the game went into penalties following a 5-5 score line at full time. Evan sailed the winning penalty to glory…
It wasn’t quite the concert we had planned but we’ve still managed to work with 30 amazing kids this week and keep the music makers spirit alive. The concert is now delayed until just after 8pm as we had to upgrade our account. It will be worth it
Our annual Halloween disco for Abbie today raised £80. Huge thanks to our mentors and staff for DJing and hosting. A tremendous turn out and great costumes
The staff vs football match was a hit. The staff scored 6 goals and the children 4 but apparently the children won? Anyway...we made £50 for
