Focus on the numbers circled in red.The answer is not 17.

Each number circled in red translates to a letter. The month they fall in is important.

The three circled in October translates to the letter "t", the third letter in the month October.

Picking out all the letters you get t, e, h, i and g. Rearranged, these spell eight.

Canteen Menu

Need a hint?

The answer lies in the menu items.

All the items mentioned in the menu have something in common.

They all have double letters. Pick these out

Picking out the double letters gives "price to get one apple" which is TWO.

Equipment List

Need a hint?

The answer lies in the notebook and something else is out of place.

The bottom of the page is different here to all the rest, it holds the key.

The school moto, achieve, develop, challenge has been shifted. It gives you the key to deciphering the notepad.

Each song has one word in its name with an extra letter in it.

The extra letters are in stay, meh, strop, mean and storey. Taking these letters gives three.

Cars

Use the statements to find the finishing order of the cars. Where have you seen cars?

There are nine cars in the race. Work through the statements. The yellow, red and blue cars are good ones to start with

The white and purple are easy to place next. The key statement to work out the final few places is "the green car finished ahead of the black car."

The order, starting with first place is - red, blue, green, orange, yellow, pink, black, white, purple. Match the cars on each clue to this order to get the final code.

Look through the timetable and find the rooms on the school map. Notice anything about the room labels on the map?
