With guests, including the Mayor of Ramsey, all staff and students braved the changeable weather and held our annual Remembrance Service outside on the field. The lovely service was led by the Head teacher, Head Boy and Head Girl. With our uniformed students in attendance it was the first opportunity for the school to watch our CCF students in action, led by flag holder Year 11 George Gysin and commanded by Sixth Former Eleanor Phipps. The Last Post and Rouse was played live by Sixth Former Joe and was joined this year by Year 9 brass player Evelyn.

Well done to all involved in making it such a special occasion and thank you to the visitors who came to join us.

Author Marcus Alexander paid a visit to Abbey College this week to inspire the year 7s.  His workshops and talks were very engaging and the students loved him!  Marcus, author of Keeper Of The Realms, did a lively presentation which included somersaults across the desk!  He certainly captured the imagination of the year 7s.

Oh no he isn't! Oh yes he is!

This year's school production is the pantomime Dick Turpin!  Suitable for all ages - the story has a twist and so is not going to be gorey or sinister.  With lots of singing, dancing, laughter and pie fights, this promises to be a good couple of hours of entertainment!  With students from all ages taking part we are very proud to open the doors to the public in early February.  Tickets are bought on the door!
