Assistant Head Teacher, Melissa Stevenson, said: "We received such a warm welcome from staff and residents - and our students did us proud.

"They interacted with the residents and hung-up various pom-pom clad wreaths, stockings and stars up in communal areas for all to enjoy.

"It was a pleasure to see the school community coming together to contribute to this project and the trip was a lovely way to end the year.

"We look forward to future craft projects with the care home and I know that we have many students who are keen to reach out and volunteer more of their time."
