The cost of the flight will be dependent on numbers but will be between £40-£60 (all insurance will be covered in this), the length of the flight will be 10-15 minutes. £10 of this charge goes to SAPA. If by any circumstances we are not able to fly then we operate the flights on another suitable day as we operate a "never-not-fly-you" policy. Finally the helicopter is an R44 helicopter with 4 seats (1 pilot and 3 passengers) Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it |

St Patrick's Quiz & Hooley!
Following on from last years phenomenally successful and competitive quiz, we have decided to merge the event with a great Irish night for St Patrick's Day on Friday 19th March (although a couple of days late, at least not a school night!)
There will be the very competetive quiz for the usual spectacular trophy, followed by food (included) and an open bar... then a 'surprise Irish band' will get your feet tapping and skirts swirling with i'm sure the odd rebel song to test your vocal chords!
Tickets will be limited as the event will be held in the College Hall. Tickets will only be £15! To guarantee your ticket please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . A free bottle of wine with every table of 10 booked!
So whether you have a mind like a thesaurus or can dance and sing like a banshee, get your table together!
Tickets on a first come first served basis. This will be a night to remember!

Christmas Fair makes £5400The final profit from the Christmas Fair was around £5400. This is up around 30% on the previous year - an excellent effort from all involved! Thanks to all who attended and those who helped in any way, to make the event such a success. An especially big thank you to Sam Alford who acted as the Manager of the event and to Lindsey Wordley and Andy (why he keeps helping I do not know, he doesnt even have boys at the school!) for all the catering. This is the first year that we had sponsorship and we would like to thank The Chill Factor e, Sainsburys and Sports Direct for their help.
