London Trip 2024

An excited group of Year 7 pupils left HMS early yesterday morning to start their adventure in London!

The pupils also got the chance to

Design Technology

Cricket Finals

It’s been a busy week of sport at HMS. A huge well done to our Y7 and Y8 girls cricket team who competed in the county finals competition and finished 3rd in the county.

Rugby Success
