This week, four of our pupils had the special honour of decorating the Gomer Christmas tree for the annual St Mary’s Church Alverstoke Tree Festival, which opens tomorrow. The festival is always a beautiful event and this year promises to be no different. The church will be filled with creativity, colour and community spirit.

Benjamin, Ella, Jessie and Ted were chosen by their teachers for their exceptional work ethic and focus throughout the week. They approached the task with enthusiasm, teamwork and care, and we are iproud of how beautifully they represented the school A huge thank-you also goes to our International Dimension Ambassadors, who created the wonderful decorations displayed on our tree.

Our tree is now standing proudly among many others, each one decorated by local schools, groups and organisations. It is a wonderful celebration of the season and we warmly encourage families to visit across the weekend. There is plenty happening and it’s a lovely way to get into the festive spirit.

Well done to our talented decorators, and thank you to St Mary’s for hosting such a joyful community tradition once again.
