The event included Mario's ice cream van, performances from students at Kingsthorpe College, Year 6 ran their enterprise week and the school caretaker, Antony Church, was a superstar in joining the wet sponge stall.

Miss Kovacs said: "We have all worked together to ensure that our fete is a great success. Local businesses, in Kingsthorpe, have donated to the raffle and our fantastic parents have volunteered their time to run stalls, buy prizes and raise money for our school.

"Our community spirit is evident not only from our fete but also in our most recent OFSTED monitoring visit. We are a school driving 'forward improvements at a rapid pace'."
