Children in the Nursery Class, Infant School and both Junior Schools have been raising money for Children in Need! As well as making those all-important donations, they dressed in Pudsey accessories, added spots to their uniforms and enjoyed themed activities.

The Nursery Class has also helped out Chorley Hedgehog Rescue Centre recently. As part of the children's learning topic 'Into The Dark', they enjoyed a visit from a volunteer who talked about hedgehogs and collected the children's generous donation of food, blankets and newspapers.

Earlier in the week, pupils across the School commemorated Remembrance. Services were held in the Boys' Division, Girls' Division and both Junior Schools to remember those who died in the First World War and every conflict since.

The School's Classicists were in for a treat when they attended a fascinating lecture from Professor Mary Beard, which was organised by the Lytham St Anne's Classical Association.

Arctic Explorer Alex Hibbert visited the Junior Boys' School to speak to Year 6. He gave an enthralling presentation about his experiences and did not shy away from his less-successful expeditions, leading to his key piece of advice: "try to make the very best of the situation" even when things go wrong.

Year 12 student Anna Phillips joined up with the England Women’s U17 Squad at the UEFA Phase 1 Euro Qualifiers held in Bosnia over the half term break, playing in two matches. The England squad won all three of their games.

The Boys' Division Under 13 team enjoyed a victory over The Grammar School at Leeds in the ISFA Cup, putting them in the last 16 teams nationally. A Match Report is now available.

Also in football news: RRG Group Bolton are the new sponsors of Bolton School Boys' Division's football kit. They have sponsored six teams from Under 12s through to the First Eleven.
