"I just wanted to share with you the results from yesterday's swimming gala. Lancaster School came 4th in the National Event with the top 5 teams separated by 10 points. We were 2 points from a podium finish and 7 points from 1st place. I think this is incredible progress for the team and one to be celebrated. Mason Wilson also swam the fastest 25m of event and won a water bottle!" - Simon Best PE Teacher

We had an excellent assembly with Josh and Aron who are soldiers in the army. We learnt a lot about what they do and also had the chance to try on uniforms and march in the hall. See the gallery for more photos.

This Friday afternoon we're holding an outdoor music festival to celebrate the end of activity week when all of our groups return from their adventures. Fingers crossed the weather is fair!
