Please support us if you can by donating a promise...this could be anything from an afternoon of gardening, a haircut, dog walking, help with DIY or even hosting a dinner party.

Thank You Mrs Sarjeant
A huge thank you and well done to Mrs Sarjeant who completed the Manchester Marathon this weekend alongside her husband. Together they raised a fantastic £225 for our minibus campaign.

UN Spanish Language Day
Thursday was UN Spanish Language Day, a global event that promotes cultural diversity and recognises the history and culture of the Spanish language. The day honours Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, and coincidentally marks the passing of William Shakespeare. It was also St George's Day!
Some of our Year 8 students have been exploring the life and work of Cervantes and were proud to share their work.
Quiz Night - Early Bird Tickets Still Available!
Our next Quiz Night is coming up on Friday 8th May and our resident Quiz Master, Mr Lee, has come up with some great rounds, including: buses in the news and popular culture (as a nod to our RS15 BUS Challenge fundraiser!), the Italian Renaissance, Guessable Music, Ships-ish...and more!
The ticket price includes a fish and chip supper, with sausage and chips or veggie burger also available. It's BYO alcohol and BYO raffle prizes if you can!
Early bird tickets are still available at £15 per adult and £10 per child, increasing to £16 and £12 after 30th April. Tickets can also be purchased in advance by dropping cash into main reception.
Farewell to our American Exchange Partners
Our American Exchange students from both Falmouth Middle School and Rossett have had a fantastic week.
The American students have experienced a day in the life of a Rossett student, and visited Knaresborough, Whitby and York. They head home on Monday and we hope they've had an unforgettable time.
A big thank you to Mr Elcock, Ms MacDonald, Ms Skillin and Mr Fox for supporting the exchange, and to our host families for their generosity.
If any current Year 8 students would be interested in next year's exchange, they can speak to Mr Elcock in school to find out more!
