Tickenham Primary School is celebrating its largest reception class for seven years.

Dean Hudd, headteacher, says it is down to the benefit of being part of the Clevedon Learning Trust alongside Clevedon and Yeo Moor Primary Schools, which allows sharing of resources and staff expertise.

He said: “I am thrilled that all the hard work and dedication our staff have put into school development over recent years is now such that it is permeating out into the wider community, resulting in school places at Tickenham being in high demand across all year groups.”
