Mr McDuff, said: “The Year 4 play is always one of the highlights of the year, and this year’s production was another fantastic occasion.
“Every single pupil performed exceptionally well, which is down to their hard work and that of our staff led by teacher and director Catherine Culver.
“World War Two may now be a distant memory for some, but its significance should never be forgotten and our pupils got to experience through the play a small taste of what it was like for thousands of families across the country during that time period.”
