Burton Borough School in Newport hosted a summer afternoon tea to celebrate the achievement of its year seven design and technology students.
Teaching groups proudly showcased their hard work and creativity, with each student inviting a guest to join the celebrations.
Guests enjoyed homemade scones, cakes, and biscuits, all prepared from scratch during food design and technology lessons with expert guidance from the school’s team.
Teachers and students from local primary schools including Newport CE Junior School, St Peter’s CE Edgmond, and Lilleshall were also invited.
Other guests included Abbie Smith from The Hub Newport, and Simon Badley and Rachael Wilson from the Learning Community Trust.
Assistant principal Karen Heins said: “Events like this are such a positive way to celebrate our students and bring families into the heart of school life.
“They help to build a strong sense of community and show how much we value working in partnership with parents and carers.
“It’s always a joy to see students take pride in their achievements and share those moments with the people who support them every day.”
Principal Caroline Bedford added: “Following our festive and easter afternoon teas earlier this year, it was a pleasure to come together once again to celebrate the achievements of our wonderful year seven students.
“This event reflected the enthusiasm, creativity and sense of pride that runs throughout our school. These occasions are not just about showcasing work but about building our links with our community and families.”
