International Evening is a school-led event, with the HSA providing a helping hand in recent years.
And it’s glorious. It always has been, and it gets ever glorious-er. This year was fantastic, with food stalls arranged by country and continent so that a walk round the playground was a voyage round the culinary globe.
Special acts – poet Paul Lyalls, accompanied by the Holloway School Musicians, and TPS favourite story-teller Phil – helped bring the party outside, into our newly refurbished grounds. The hall, as always, was humming with activity as our children sang, danced and drummed us around the world.
Special thanks to people who sent photos.
