The alternative Christmas Tree!
We are always running out of space at the school and although we would love a Christmas tree we decided this year to make our own alternative!
Christmas Open Evening
Christmas open evening on Tuesday 5th December - 4pm to 7pm
Whether you have never visited the school before or are one of our much cherished students, all are welcome. As a celebration of the start of the Christmas season we will demonstrating some quick and easy designs to decorate your home with.
If you love flowers or know someone who does then you will find lots of gift ideas for everyone.
Parking and entry are free - pop in and say hello (even if it's not for long!). Mulled wine and mince pies to ensure a jolly good evening is had by all!
