Tetherdown School's Annual Family Picnic was a great success

This cherished tradition brings together children, parents and teachers for a day filled with laughter, bonding and plenty of delicious picnic treats.

Friendships are forged at the picnic (Image: Tetherdown School) The annual event's main goal is to foster that warm, community spirit we all treasure at Tetherdown.

It’s also a chance for parents to make new friends within the school environment, for children to mingle with peers from different year groups, and for teachers to introduce themselves to the parent community outside the classroom, proving they’re as human as the rest of us.

Sam dazzled everyone with his incredible skills, keeping the children (and a few curious adults) entertained with his gravity-defying tricks.

The annual family picnic is more than just a day out; it's a vital part of what makes Tetherdown School such a special place.

Here's to many more school events filled with joy and friendship.
