CHILDREN are looking forward to having fun and learning new skills.

Dungeons and Dragons, badminton, football, drama, and rock and pop are just some of the many after school clubs opening up again at Middlewich High School.

Students are thrilled to back at school, sharing their learning with friends, free of a screen.
