Head teacher Sue Brady said: We are proud to support the RNLI in any way we can; they are a vital part of our school community in helping us teach children about keeping safe.

'The assemblies they do for the children are always very popular, particularly when two 'willing volunteer' teachers gets to race each other to get into the lifeboat crew clothes; the children literally can't contain their excitement!'
