To add a creative twist to the Christmas Jumper Day celebration, the children at Walpole Cross Keys Primary also made their own seasonal place mats and table decorations for the meal.

“All the children and staff took part,” said Billy Overton, who is Assistant Headteacher at the school.

“We don’t usually charge for Christmas Jumper Day, so were not raising money this time,” he continued. “It just helps everyone get into the Christmas spirit and share a bit of time together at the end of a long and busy time.

“It’s a great day – all of the staff get involved in serving food and party along with the children while they have their Christmas lunch.”

Other WNAT members holding their own Christmas Jumper Days included Marshland High School, Smithdon High School, Springwood High School, and Clenchwarton Primary.
