The playground filled up early today with 210 eager, excited boys all looking very smart in their brown blazers and keen to meet their Form teachers.

The students were in for half a day and had assembly and met new chums. Friendships that will last a lifetime were made and there were lots of smiling faces.

At breaktime, Headteacher Mr Halliwell went out into the playground to chat with the boys and check that they were settling in well. He was pleased to report that everyone seemed fine.

Here are a few photos from the playground.
