"I will miss my primary because all of the people who work here are really nice and you always know that you are safe.
“Lots of my friends are going to the same secondary school so that’s good.

"I want to say thank you to my teachers because they have done such a lot for us, and I will miss them.”
Kim Tucker, headteacher, said: “Our amazing Year Six had such a fantastic send off.
"A celebration assembly for parents included the ‘Greenwood Greenies’, our version of the Oscars, followed by a picnic for our graduates and all their families.

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

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