Our Harbour pupils enjoyed a fantastic visit to Ings Park Alpacas as a special Big R reward!
We were incredibly proud of their fantastic behaviour throughout the visit and the wonderful interactions they had with the animals.
Well done, Harbour! A thoroughly deserved reward!

Last week we were pleased to host parents and carers at our first Proud Parents morning of the academic year. Students and families in Compass class tried a new activity and used decoupage to make an autumnal tea light holder! We look forward to seeing everyone at our next family event.

Today, Compass class used double-sided counters to create arrays which helped them to write ratios in their simplest forms. They were able to use the counters to justify their thinking. Great work! #TeamVBC
