Two performances of The Magical Christmas Journey were staged to packed audiences of proud parents and family members.

Assistant headteacher Joanne Campbell said: “We took the traditional nativity story and devised our own around that.

“Four children were looking for a Christmas tree that led them on a journey through the nativity.

“We had children from every year group taking part on stage singing and speaking and in costume.
