PUPILS at Purfleet Primary Academy have been recognised for showing exceptional behaviour and attitude to learning by attending a 'Golden Tea Party'.

Over the course of this year, pupils have been acknowledged for showing school and British values. The first pupil from each year group to achieve their 'Gold Award' was invited to a tea party hosted by headteacher, Eugene Samuel.

During the party, pupil Rosa said: "I love everything about this school. The teachers are amazing and we do lots of good quality learning. I will be leaving in a couple of weeks to go to my secondary school and I have lots of memories from this school that I will never forget."

Mr Samuel said: "The children at Purfleet Primary Academy are just exceptional and deserve exceptional experiences. We hope this goes a long way to encourage all our children to aspire to be the very best versions of themselves. A massive thank you to all our parents for instilling in them such fantastic values and morals."
