🎓 Year 6 Leavers' Celebration Evening 🎓
What a truly special evening we shared as we celebrated our wonderful Year 6 children and all they have achieved during their time with us.
Every child received a certificate in recognition of their hard work, resilience, achievements and the unique part they have played in our school family. It was a joy to reflect on so many happy memories and to celebrate just how much they have grown.
The evening was made even more memorable by some fabulous singing, filling the room with smiles, pride and a few happy tears.
This year also marked the first presentation of the Henry Nowak Award, established in memory of a much-loved former pupil and valued member of our school community. It was a touching moment and a fitting way to honour Henry's legacy, celebrating the values that continue to inspire us all.
To our Year 6 children – we are so proud of every one of you. As you take your next steps, remember that you will always be part of our school family. We wish you every success, happiness and confidence as you begin your exciting new adventures.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our incredible staff, whose dedication, care and hard work made the evening so special. Your commitment helped create memories that our children and their families will treasure for years to come. 💙

Good luck, Year 6 – keep believing in yourselves, dream big, and never forget how proud we are of you.
