Yesterday, pupils were encouraged to come to school dressed as their favourite book character, in memory of Mrs Bell.

She would have loved seeing them bringing books to life and having so much fun - the whole day has raised everyone's spirits.

The charity we have chosen to support is Acting For Others. Mrs Bell had a passion for the theatre. She trained and performed in the theatre herself and loved passing on that passion to many of her students. Acting For Others provides financial and emotional support to all theatre workers in times of need through their 14 member charities. Due to Covid-19, those working in the theatre industry are facing even greater challenges and the money raised will make a huge difference to supporting this industry that was so incredibly important to Mrs Bell.
