Students from Sky Class have been working very hard in starting up their own company called ‘Sky High Hats’. The group of students are producing and selling their own winter hats on reception. The price of these hats is a very reasonable £3.50, so get yourself down and buy one!

Please do give them a big ‘well done’ if you end up passing by the area.
