Harry Potter Club is officially underway! We've had such a brilliant start to our Harry Potter Club, with students now officially sorted into their houses! There's already been lots of excitement, teamwork and a little bit of healthy house rivalry! 🦁🦅🦡🐍 We've started introducing house points and prizes too, giving everyone even more reason to get involved and support their house. It's been so lovely seeing students getting stuck into the magic of it all and enjoying something a little different at lunchtime. I'm so excited to see how the club develops over the next few weeks and, of course, which house will come out on top! 🏆 Let the house points begin!
Well done to all of our Year 8 netball players who represented The John Frost School in their matches on Tuesday 6th October. The girls demonstrated outstanding commitment, teamwork and determination throughout, competing with enthusiasm and representing the school with pride. A particular highlight of the evening was seeing such a high level of interest in netball from our Year 8 students. We were delighted to have enough players wanting to take part to create three separate teams, which is a fantastic achievement! We look forward to seeing the girls continue to develop and achieve success throughout the season.

Year 12 students undertaking A Level Art and Design enjoyed the morning studying first hand from the original art works at Cardiff Museum recently. Their sketches and writing will now form part of their course. Da iawn!
