They intend to campaign on a range of topics including fair access to school trips, social media and body image and healthcare for young people. This is a very important role because the 14 successful candidates will support the young mayor to decide how money is spent on services for children and young people in the borough. Voting opened on Tuesday 1st November and closes on Thursday 10th November. We will keep you updated on the outcome.
Posted on: 2/11/2022Languages Spelling BeeOn Wednesday 2nd November Year 7 competed in a Spelling Bee competition in French and Spanish. Our Spanish winner, Bushra, writes: "I practised with Señora Lezard , and with my friends at break and lunch every day. At home I tested myself and got my siblings to test me. I was scared at first because I get stage fright when I'm in front of lots of people, but I figured I could just look down while I was on stage. My friends cheered me on and encouraged me so I tried my best. I was very happy when I won because I practised a lot." Well done to all our competitors - they showed great courage to stand up and perform on stage under the lights!
