Visitors enjoyed food and gift stalls, games and candy floss, while children had their faces painted and played hook-a-duck. The celebration ended with a spectacular fireworks display.

Headteacher Chris Reynolds said any funds raised would go towards resources for the children. He said: “The event was a great success, and I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped organise it and everyone who joined us. Special thanks go to the stallholders, St John Ambulance, staff and parents for helping make the evening such a success. Finally, thank you to all our children, whose smiles lit up the evening.”
