"It was a well-deserved send off for an incredible group of children and their families.

“Our children have worked so hard and were rewarded with incredible SATs results this year. We are so proud of them all.

"Our Greenwood families are always so supportive and for many of them it was their last day too after other siblings have gone before.

"We will miss them all but wish them every happiness and success for their future.

"We hope we have laid the foundations for a lifelong love of learning. Our Greenwood Stars will shine forever.”
