Young Voices

it was Lincoln’s turn to perform at Young Voices tonight, finally after being postponed twice because of covid, and it was fantastic.

Welcome home…

Lincoln arrived back at school aboard a coach full of his school friends today and we couldn’t wait to greet him and hear all about his first school residential.

Play darts learn maths

When I was at school I played darts and I was always good at simple maths adding, subtracting, multiply and dividing because to play darts you need to do all three hahaha in your head quickly. To play in a pub you have to mark the board (do the scoring on a blackboard) before you […]
