PUPILS at a primary school in Whitecross have locked horns with some very special festive guests.

Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, on Selby Street, had a visit from Olaf and Surprise the reindeer on Monday, November 30.

Warrington Guardian:

Headteacher Colleen Everett said: "We have been determined to make sure that this Christmas is extra special for our children.

"After a very difficult year, during which they have not once complained, we wanted them to have a Christmas to remember.

"The school looks magical after a lot of hard work and extra working hours from staff but it was worth every minute when we saw the children’s faces on Monday morning.

Warrington Guardian:

"We have been planning a few things behind the scenes, but the arrival of reindeers has been a pretty good start.

Warrington Guardian:

"I’m really not sure who enjoyed it most, the children or the staff.

"It really was the most magical day and exactly what we wanted for our wonderful children."
