This week has been another excellent one at Devonshire Road! From Stay and Play sessions, to more school accreditations, there has been so much to celebrate.
We are also fast approaching our 100 year centenary celebrations! We invite children and staff to come to school next week in 1920s style clothes to commemorate what will be a historic day for Devonshire Road and the community. The day will also have a whole-school dance workshop taking place - be sure to keep posted on our Instagram page throughout the day!
