The KS2 Pantomime on Friday evening was absolutely fantastic! All of the children extremely well, especially the year 6s. well done everyone!
Many thanks to all who helped organise and support the very successful PTA stall at the Otley Victorian Fayre on Sunday. The children’s choir performed brilliantly despite the inclement weather and were rewarded by being named the best choir! Well done children!
The Christmas Carol Service yesterday was lovely. It was really nice to see such a full audience. Thankyou to all of the children who read so beautifully.
