It has been a very busy month at Gorsey Bank this December, with all sorts of festivities happening across the school.
To end a brilliant term, we have wrapped up some of the highlights from the past month!
EYFS & KS1 present: ‘Nativity’
Children in Reception and Years 1 & 2 left crowds in awe with their charming Nativity performances.
The pupils worked so hard to make the shows a success, and it certainly paid off!
Thank you to all the parents who joined us and to all the Gorsey Bank team for their work behind the scenes.
Singing all the Way!
Pupils have been spreading Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear!
The choir performed under Concorde and KS2 held a Carol Service at Wilmslow URC.
