Leavers and on the right hand side younger pupils exited and looking forward the the holidays.

Tuesday 22nd July was the last day of the summer term and for 8 of our children it was their last day at Shepton School. The whole school joined in the Year Four Leaving Service in church which included songs and prayers in addition to short performances on clarinet and keyboard. The confidence shown by the children in taking this service, introducing each part, reading and singing is impressive and a credit to the school.

This year again each of the leavers had designed and decorated a plate which was presented to them, Head teacher Karen Booker thanked the Dennis Chinaworks for there generosity in maintaining this annual tradition and wished the leavers good luck in their new school in September. The “leavers” also each received an individual folder containing examples of their own work accumulated in the first 4 years of their school life.

A parent thanked Mrs Booker and all the staff for all they do for our children throughout the year and presented the staff with a useful bird feeder for the garden plus some undisclosed item which has still to be erected. At the end of the service parents and pupils returned to the school playground to form a long human arch which the “Leavers” had to go through to get back into school.
