They had a fantastic day out and would like to thank the staff at Silent World.

Pupils presented Miss Rowell with their own special leaving presents as Miss Rowell is leaving the school this term. Everyone was sorry to see Miss Rowell leave after years of dedicated service to both Pentlepoir and Stepaside Schools. Everyone wishes her well for the future.
