DEAN Academy in Lydney held its summer fair last week for Year Six students who will be starting at the school in September.

Giant Catapults, archery, apple bobbing, alchemy and a climbing tower were just some of the fun activities on offer following a week of lessons and workshops for the Year Six children. Parents were also able to purchase uniform and equipment in preparation for the new school year.

Mrs Alison Ball, primary transition leader, who organised the event said: “The summer fair is a great opportunity for parents and children to meet with teachers at the school in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

“It was a very successful evening and we have already had lots of positive feedback about the event.”

Isobelle in Year Six at Blakeney Primary School added: “I have had a really good time during my week at the Dean Academy. The teachers have been really helpful and I can’t wait to start here in September.”
