Year 4 had a great day at Cadbury World discovering the journey of chocolate from bean to bar. 🍫 They explored real cocoa beans, watched chocolate being made, had tasty samples and took part in fun activities. A fantastic mix of learning and chocolate-fuelled excitement! 👏🍫

On Tuesday, secondary students and staff commemorated Remembrance Day with a parade from our Army, Navy and Sea Cadets. All students observed the two minute silence respectfully and the cadets exhibited our ARK values through their involvement in the event. Well done!

It’s #GreenCareersWeek!
