With Year 6 pupils’ final year of primary school disrupted by coronavirus, the Comet is giving children, schools and families the chance to say goodbye and wish them good luck as they move up to secondary school.

Mr Mannal, head of prep at St Francis’ College in Letchworth, said: “The term ended with a farewell tea party, which included speeches by the prefects and house captains. The girls are certainly ready for the next stage in their education and we wish them a happy summer break!

“That said, most of the girls are coming back to join the St. Francis’ Senior School in Year 7 and it will be great to see them back after the holidays!”
