Enjoying their first day at Bluestone School are 5 year olds Carter Welch and William Jackson. “It’s probably one of the biggest batches of new arrivals we have had in quite some time. ’ Zonnevylle said teachers were always looking forward to a new year with new classes, and she advised parents to take the time to hear about the pupils’ first day at school.

In a year where many have fallen on hard times and the use of foodbanks soared, school pupils in Letchworth have been collecting to create hampers for families in need this Christmas.
The Highfield School has taken on the Christmas Hamper Appeal following the closure of Garden City Montessori, which had previously run the initiative.
Student leader Charlie Stearn and headteacher Mrs Lucy Miles didn’t want to see years of hard work by Garden City Montessori disappear, so agreed for The Highfield School to take over the project.
