• A Royal Visitor

  Thu 25 Apr 2024

  Today, Criftins CofE Primary School were  invited to sing for HRH Princess Anne alongside Cockshutt C of E Primary School. The children sang two songs and spoke to the princess about the worksheet they were completing in between songs. The sun was shining and we had a brilliant time. A memorable day for our children that they won’t be forgetting anytime soon! 
   

  Thank you to Juliet Woollam for providing us with this special opportunity and teaching us the songs.
