Helen praised the children for their commitment to learning about their local community and has showcased some of their work on the Historic England website for others to use as inspiration.

Head teacher Michelle Palmer said: “I am extremely proud of  our children and their commitment to learning about their local area and cannot wait to see what they next achieve.”
