What a fantastic final week for our Year 6 pupils! On Wednesday, we celebrated with our Leavers' Church Service, Leavers' Assembly, Leavers' Afternoon Tea, and of course, D'Arcy Fest – what an amazing day full of fun and memories!

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful staff, our fantastic PTFA, and our amazing pupils for making these celebrations so special.
