All students pay £1 for the privilege of taking part. Friday is also the day for the ‘Horsley Arcade’, a lunchtime packed with sideshows, fast food, cake stalls, and the legendary chilli eating competition. Other events that have already taken place are the Allan Soiree, an evening of music performed by the students and the Webster Lenten Dinner for parents.
