Welcome to our Christmas Market

6th Class are proud to open their Christmas Market page. Usually 6th Class host coffee mornings once a term. Like many other events, we have had to cancel these this year.

However, in Springdale we have found a way to hold assembly. From my office I can live stream assembly while our classes […]
