Heateacher, Andrew Turrall, said: “The last week of term before the Christmas holidays is always a fun and exciting time for the children.

“We thought we would channel their excitement for Christmas by making the whole day festive.

“They still had their normal lessons but these all had a fun, seasonal theme. It was our own very special Christmas Day.”
