The school had been marking the milestone all year, but decided to cap it off with a party on the playing field, raising funds for the PTA and their contact school, the Kakwale School, in Malawi, at the same time.

Members of staff dressed up in stage garb and performed a few musical numbers for the pupils.

Some pupils also gave live performances as well as putting on a disco and fashion show.

Some unfortunate teachers ended up in the stocks to get a good soaking from the pupils and there were traditional garden fete games, including a coconut shy, bowling game, splat the rat and more.

At the end of the day, everyone took part in a vast conga line around the field.
