Y9 Wirral Cup

On 8^th May, our Y9 team won the Wirral Cup after a hard fought game which finished 1-1, courtesy of a Theo Ogden-Jones header. The match went straight to penalties, and they comfortably won 4-3 after a brilliant save from goalkeeper Jack Booth and excellent finishes from Bobby May Hawkins, Callum Reynolds, Emerson Houlihan and Theo Ogden-Jones (again). Well deserved after a brilliant year of football, but now it's onto the defence of our title in 2025!

Library

This week's Book of the Week is Safiyyah's War by Hiba Noor Khan and is inspired by the true events that took place in the Grand Mosque of Paris during WWII where Muslims worked with the Resistance and saved hundreds of Jewish lives. Safiyyah is living in the mosque when war comes to Paris and as Nazis start to watch her father with suspicions of working with the Resistance, it falls to Safiyyah to run dangerous errands around the city. Can she be brave enough to lead the Jews to safety?

Our next Readathon will take place on Friday 28^th June and our wonderful students will once again complete a sponsored read to help raise money for local children's hospitals. If your child would like to take part, please send them to the library to sign up.
