YEAR 4 - Everyone At Hindleap Warren they were all very well behaved and worked brilliantly together as a team, helping and encouraging one another during activities. It was wonderful to see their positive attitudes, good listening and willingness to try new things. They should be very proud of themselves, as they represented the school in such a fantastic way. The children in school were also amazing. They worked excellently together whilst showing so much kindness and having lots of fun.

5 ROWAN - Everyone They should all be extremely proud of themselves for their fantastic behaviour and enthusiasm during their recent visit to the Royal Grammar School to learn about the Tudors.
