Our Girls Tag Rugby Team were at Newark Rugby Club today playing schools within the district: successfully braving the cold, a small flutter of snow and winning 4 out of their 5 matches. They represented our school beautifully and were a pleasure to be with. Well done, Team Claypole!

Year 4 had an outstanding experience at The Deep today; exploring and learning about marine life, plastic pollutions, climate change and getting up-close with a variety of aquatic life! The Deep Team were really impressed by the children’s knowledge, engagement & behaviour!
