On Wednesday 15th September, some of our Year 7 and Year 8 students were selected to participate in a friendly multi skills PE event which was hosted by the Slough School Sport Network at The Centre in Slough. This was a valuable experience for the students.
During the first week in school all students in year 7 participated in some introductory team building activities during their first PE lesson. It was a positive start to the term and great to see them integrating well with their new peers and working together.
The Fostering Team at Slough Children First are trying to recruit more Foster Carers for our children in Slough that are in desperate need of a loving home.
