⭐ This morning, our whole school walked to church to take part in our Year 6 Leavers' Service, led by Reverend Gary.

🎉 Together, we worshipped through song and prayer, reflected on the many memories, achievements and friendships of the past year, and celebrated our wonderful Year 6 pupils as they prepare for the next stage of their journey.

As part of the service, each of our Year 6 children was presented with their own Bible—a special gift and keepsake to take with them as they move on to secondary school.

A huge thank you to Reverend Gary for leading such a thoughtful and meaningful service, and to all the parents, families and members of our community who joined us for this special occasion. Your support means so much.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 children and wish them every happiness and success as they begin their next adventure. 🌟
