It was for a project about history and to learn about important historical figures.

Headteacher Matthew Dineen, who was dressed as Julius Caesar for the day, said: “Today is a great example of how a magical atmosphere has been created by staff and parents.

“This has been a truly wonderful day discovering the past together.”

Deputy headteacher Lynn Hogan-O’Neill added: “The new headteacher’s aim is moving forward together striving for excellence. All parents and staff are displaying superb support in reaching this aim.”
