What a few months! A fantastic Feast Week – many thanks to all who made Feast Week such a success both from an enjoyment and a fundraising perspective (over £2200 raised!); followed by Mrs Margaret Prosser’s retirement and leaver’s assembly and the usual end of school celebrations. Even the power failure during the Fete and the Year 6 assembly couldn’t dampen everyone’s enjoyment!
Don’t miss the chance to watch Dry Drayton’s very own version of ‘Is this the way to Amarillo?’
