Our Year 7 scholars had only their second ever opportunity for a competitive fencing fixture vs Calday Grammar School. In teams of three each of the groups won their round robin duels and NLA came out the fixture 3-0 winners overall.

Having a very lovely family holiday. Challenging moments with two younger ASD sprogs, and one bratty teenager, but wouldn't change things for the world. The holiday we both wanted and needed! #teacher5aday #ohana #34degreessoneedtostayhydrated

10 days fantastic family holiday coming to a close! Ryanair delayed by over an hour and finally on the pan, so looking at a silly hour early morning return to Liverpool, before getting up and into school to see my fantastic A-Level CS students on results day! #teacher5aday
