Headteacher Wendy Figes said: ‘It has been another amazing year for Arlecdon School. We have raised thousands of pounds for charity, been on lots of trips and visits, our academic results are very good and we are proud that every one of our students has embraced opportunities given to them. At Arlecdon Primary we seek to be the best and develop the whole child, the content of our leavers speeches, shows that our students recognise that they are beacons and ambassadors for our school. We are so very proud of them.’’
