  Tonight our hall was transformed into a venue fit for a prom. The children arrived in style for their Leaver's Prom and they all looked so lovely and glamorous that it was hard to believe they were the same children that had been wet and muddy last weekend at Hothersall Lodge! They sang and they danced their hearts out and it was a very special night. Thank you Year 6!
