Former Police dog Baloo visited school recently. She came in with her owner Mandy who shared Baloos's story. Baloo was severely injured whilst on duty in 2018. As a result had one of her font legs amputated and metal plates put in her pelvis. A group of students spent some time with Baloo who thoroughly enjoyed their attention.

Our KES Spelling Bee took place last week and everyone involved in the finals did absolutely amazingly. All the students took the competition very seriously and conquered their nerves to stand up and spell some very tricky words in front of their peers. Our winners from each year group were as follows: Year 7: Isabelle C Year 8: Emilee C Year 9: Melissa C The grand final was very close, but the overall winner and Spelling Bee Champion of 2022 was Emilee Croucher in year 8. She received a trophy and will also receive a £10 Amazon voucher. Isabelle and Melissa will each be receiving a £5 Amazon voucher.

A massive well done to our year 10 Sports Prefects, who helped out at the Holt Farm School year 5/6 sports day last week. It was so lovely seeing them apply their leadership skills and interacting with the year 5/6 students. They were extremely encouraging to them all and the students loved having them there. They were all natural leaders and we are very proud of them all. Well done Year 10 Sports Prefects.
