A CHESTER school which lost its battle for survival has bowed out with a goodbye ceremony.

Woodfield Primary School in Somerset Road held its farewell day on Friday (July 11) to celebrate the school’s history.

Pupils took part in the day, which included activities such as singing and maypole dancing.

Headteacher Paula Moreton spoke to parents and pupils to mark the end of the line for the school.

Parents have been given the reassurance that there will be enough places for the surplus pupils in Newton Primary School.

A full report with pictures appears in the City edition of Friday’s Chronicle.
