• Metal detecting treasures - found near school!

  Thu 12 Jun 2025 Nia Evans

  Today we welcomed Jill into school to share some of her fascinating metal detecting finds, all discovered in the fields near school.

   

  The children were excited to handle the objects and learn about their history including Victorian coins and some intriguing items that might even be Roman!

   

  A big thank you to Jill for giving up her time to inspire the children and bring local history to life.
