Jeni Law, the speech and drama teacher at the school, said: “I am so proud of all the children who took part.

“Some were only just six years old, and I know they were quite nervous.

“It is incredibly brave to stand and speak on a stage in front of people, especially when you are so young.

“It was lovely to see the older ones supporting the younger ones and really demonstrated the community approach fostered within the school.”
