This year we had a special 'Switch On' family chosen at random to turn it on with the real Blackpool Illumination switch! It was Ayla in Foundation and mum and she did a great job to light up our academy. There were stalls for people to enjoy, food and drink and the children performed in super style for a jam packed hall. We are so glad you enjoyed the event as much as we did and are very grateful and thankful to the community for supporting us.
