Thank you to @ColgrainPS Parent Council for organising a Summer Fayre with a difference! From fairground games to bouncy castles and pocket money toys, you had it all! The grand finale Colour Run was every bit as bright and wonderful as we hoped! #Community #parentcouncil

Final session with @abc_OCTF probationers - my favourite of the year! Enquiry project presentations were informative and gave food for thought. Rounding off with all of our successes and next steps - it's the simple things that count! #professionalenquiry #gtcs @v_greenway
