Students celebrated their end of year with a social distanced barbecue on Wednesday, July 15.
The children sat in their social bubbles under a beautifully decorated gazebo with bunting and balloons.
Each social distanced bubbled had their own photo booth with props, snacks and drinks.
Simon Cope, headteacher at the school, said: "'It has been a tricky year but the staff, children and parents have been incredible. We wanted to give our wonderful year 6 children something to remember. They enjoyed a socially distanced BBQ, Music, Ice Cream Van, Photo Booths and a well deserved presentation.

"Our Year 6's have been unbelievable in these tough times and a real credit to both Wildridings and the community. I would like to thank everyone involved for making it such a special occasion and one they will hopefully remember!"
Local ice cream van Sir Whippy arrived to give students a special treat and a special presentation saw pupils being handed certificates and autographed books.
The parents also raised money together to purchase gift bags containing a leavers mug, pen, sweet cone and a 2020 certificate with all the children's names on.

Pauline Saunders, a mum of one of the year 6 leavers, commended the group of parents who helped organise the social distanced send off.
She said: "In normal times they would have had a fun day, culminating in the "Prom" but of course this was not possible this year. "However, all credit to this small group who made the day memorable for the children, all in their own "Bubble" of course. Well done to you all, and thank you."
