Glow Dodgeball Fun: Year 6 Shine at Sports Event

Our Year 6 pupils had an unforgettable afternoon taking part in a Glow in the Dark Dodgeball event at Brierton Sports Centre. The classic game of dodgeball was brought to life in a pitch‑black arena illuminated by blacklights, creating a spectacular atmosphere.
