The Courier

Crescent School pupils and staff showed their best sides off to good effect earlier this week when professional photographer Marcus Perkins travelled up from London to spend the day at school on a photo shoot for our Marketing Team.  

Marcus' busy schedule saw him focus his lens on pupils from Reception to Year 6 taking part in a range of activities from music clubs and lessons, and Geography and French lessons, to the friendship benches and the new adventure trail.

Thanks to everyone for their patience and co-operation; children you were all stars! We look forward to seeing the fruits of Marcus' labours in the next week or so and to seeing the pictures featured on the school website and in our marketing materials.

Congratulations to the following Year 6 children who have been appointed as Sports Captains for the season.
