Last week we celebrated history week with a focus on the history of our school. We had visits from ex-members of staff and the parish. We had visits from Mr Madden, Mr Brierley, Mr Devine, Mrs Morris and Mr Goas.
It was lovely to welcome them back into our school and the children gained a great deal by asking them questions. Our visitors loved sharing stories from their time at our wonderful school.
