VE Day 80

A huge thank you to everyone who was able to join us on Thursday 8th May 2025 for our VE Day event. It was so special to see many of you and how you joined in with the songs pupils sang.

It was lovely to receive such positive thanks and praise from you all, particularly from a couple of visitors who were children on 8th May 1945!

One email wrote, ‘I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed this afternoons singing and the whole VE event  It was excellent. Great kids, great songs. Impressed.’

And another said, ‘Hi, just want to pass on our thanks for the VE event today. It was such a lovely occasion to be a part of and mark this important date. All the children were amazing and very respectful. Fantastic day, and thanks to Mr Burgess for sharing about his grandparents too which was very moving. Well done CHPA!!!’
