Pupils presented some of their recent artworks to their parents and families, led groups through different sporting games and performed a series of songs and dance.

The school’s dance students put on a fantastic performance on the night.

“It was a fantastic showcase of all our specialist subjects.

“All the students look forward to the days where they have these unique subjects, which is ultimately really important for them.

“A day like this builds up their confidence and shows off their amazing skills to their school cohort and their families.

“Some of the children might not think they are the greatest readers, but they might love sport or dancing, so it gives them a great opportunity to showcase their talents. “An event like this has been a long time coming, and we were rapt with the outcome.”
