  • Last Day of Term

    Fri 04 Apr 2025

    s the term came to an end, the school marked the occasion with a fun and relaxed Easter celebration. The whole-school picnic, held at lunchtime, brought students and staff together to enjoy some time outdoors.  It was a lovely chance for everyone to sit down, chat, and enjoy the fresh air before the holiday break.

    After the picnic, the Easter Egg Hunt was the next big event of the day. The school grounds were dotted with hidden eggs, and the children eagerly set off to find them. It was a great way to get everyone moving and engaged, with many laughs and little moments of excitement as eggs were discovered in different corners of the field.

    Everyone had a lovely day and all the staff would like to wish all our families a very happy Easter.
