Hundreds of parents came along to attend the event, as did all four special guests, who have all served as Chairs of Governors in the school's history. A commemorative mosaic has been erected in the playground with the school's values on it – opportunity, challenge, collaboration and ambition.

Vice Principal Katie Mason said: ‘Year 2s did a lovely maypole dance at the beginning to a really funky song. Reception class sang a song and did a poem. Years 1,2,3 and 4 all sang songs and Year 5s did a poem. It has been a really good turn out and obviously the weather is lovely. The PTA has been involved in it all and has helped out with refreshments so it has been a great afternoon of celebration to round off the term.’

Principal Emma Goodwin said: ‘It has gone really well and I am really proud of everybody. There has been some lovely singing and our first attempt at maypole dancing has been really successful! We will seriously consider buying a maypole as this one has kindly been lent to us by Weldon Primary School. The children have thoroughly enjoyed it. We need to maintain the tradition. It has really been nice to see that children, who may find other things more difficult have really taken to it and it has given them lots of confidence.’
