Surprising The Teachers! The school association have presented two surprises recently to all the staff in school. The first was a parents meeting survival kit for all the teachers filled with snacks to keep them all going during the evening. The second surprise was the delivery of a cream tea for everyone to enjoy in the staff room. This was a very welcome surprise and was appreciated by everyone who was in school that day. Thank you to Louise, Lloyd and Sarah and the rest of the school association for making these surprises happen!
