The decision to completely cancel Christmas here at Victoria Park Academy has been taken out of the hands of Mr Morrish, the Head teacher, after all.

The magic of Christmas appeared at VPA earlier this morning as the children and staff took part in a very special assembly, trying to persuade Mr Morrish as to why Christmas should be reinstated. At the same time two reindeers, Santa’s sleigh and masses of brightly wrapped presents mysteriously appeared on the playground surrounded by snow!

The question being – Where is Santa? The children found out that Santa had been separated, a short distance away, from his reindeer and sleigh as they had crash landed in our playground on their way from the North Pole.

Children were thrilled to see Santa and his helpers in our Forest School area. They were greeted by Santa in his grotto and were all given a chocolate lollypop and some magical reindeer food to take away. The children sat round an open fire eating roast chestnuts and drinking hot chocolate, singing Christmas songs.

Truly the Spirit of Christmas is back in our school – Ho, Ho, Ho!

Please see below to view the children’s, very impressive, persuasive videos sent to Mr Morrish.
