We were delighted to work with our academy trust, The Primitas Learning Partnership, to stage a celebratory event for those staff who have served over 20+ years in our school.

The event was staged at Darnford Moors Golf Club and saw congratulatory speeches, refreshments, and gifts and cards.
Matt Allman, Headteacher, said: “I was amazed at the lengths of service and to think of all of the children who have benefited over decades from the work and support of these staff. All of these colleagues continue to make a difference each and every day and so the opportunity to say ‘thank you’ was too good an opportunity to miss.”
