• Wednesday 15 January 2025 Year 4 see the Lion King! This week, Year 4 (plus some guests) prowled into Central London to see the Lion King stage show! Most had never experienced anything like this before, but they'd be lion if they said they didn't have an amazing time! Unfortunately, we didn't get back to school until 6:30pm, so I suppose I'll have to train the kids to Mufasa on their feet...
