Staff and students at Tewkesbury Academy enjoyed a heartwarming eastern European festive Christmas celebration in the school library.
The event brought together members of the school community as students from eastern Europe students shared their Christmas traditions and personal stories of how the festive season is celebrated across Europe.
The celebration highlighted the richness of different cultures and created a welcoming space for learning and connection.
