Headteacher Alan Brannen commented:
"The children worked incredibly hard and had a lot of fun developing their speaking skills at an after school club. The club was been run by three wonderful volunteers: Judy Clowes, Karen Hatcher and Carol Fisher who expertly prepared the children for the exam. The exam which involved poetry recital, reading aloud from a book and delivering a two-minute presentation was certainly challenging and children did so very well; I am immensely proud of our pupils and their achievements."
