Year seven at the Worthing school celebrated Hallowe’en with challenges set by the English department.
Teachers transformed themselves into witches, wizards and black widows, and the library was cast under a spell, leaving it covered from wall to ceiling in cobwebs, spiders and floating ghosts.

Hide AdClaire Martin, subject leader, said: “The doorbell was changed to one of a cackling moan and the lights were off as year seven arrived to a spooky English department.
“Making the KS4 curriculum fun is a driving force in the department.”
Activities included writing a piece entitled Horror on a Plate, a 100-word fiction story to scare the school’s socks off.
Claire added: “Writing could be no longer than the size of a paper plate. At break and lunch, students brought their sinister tales to compete with other year-seven students to win the coveted Spookfest Student 2017 and take home Sid the Skeleton as their very own.”
The winning story was written by James Winton and runner-up Evelyn Starbuck was commended for brevity with words.
James described the day as ‘super fun’ and a great time was had by all.
