Congratulations and thank you to the 49 children who joined Mrs Humphrey, Miss Adams, Mrs Hallsworth, Mrs Armitage and me on our annual pilgrimage to the Birmingham Arena for the Young Voices experience.

We're hitting the spring term at 88 mph as we navigate time travel and head back to the future for our whole-school topic!
