We’ve just delivered a mountain of food to the local Foodbank! They were amazed by how much we brought - as you can see, we filled every single crate. Huge thanks to our fantastic students who helped unload everything in the pouring rain. What a team! 💛😊

📸 Year 9 Hospitality Visit | M&S Archive Our Year 9 Hospitality students had a fantastic visit to the M&S Archive, exploring the history behind one of the UK’s most iconic brands. From food innovation to customer experience, students gained valuable insight into how hospitality and retail have evolved over time. A great opportunity to bring learning to life. Thank you to the M&S Archive team for such an inspiring visit!
