The partnership between Dame Marjorie Bean Hope Academy and Warwick Academy continues to thrive.

Close links have been developed with both sets of students by weekly visits when books, games and activities are shared. During the recent Primary production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Warwick Academy, money was raised from the sale of refreshments.

The students decided to donate half of the proceeds to the Friends of Hope Academy. Mr Ifor Hughes, president of Friends of Hope Academy, received the cheque from some of the Warwick Academy Year 6 students.

Mrs Julie Lynn and Mrs Jill Finnigan are delighted with the growing partnership and have seen many benefits for both sets of students.
