Burstow Primary School in Horley has welcomed back its returning pupils in style by rolling out a red carpet.

Balloon arrangements and bubbles were also used to welcome the children and their teachers transforming the mundane drop-off into something more glamorous.

Reception teacher Charlotte Solomon said:
“We’re really excited to see the children and have them all back”.

Head teacher Claire Hodgson says she thinks the children should be applauded for “conquering” the lockdown, and that people are doing them a disservice by labelling them “victims” of the pandemic.
