Devonshire Primary Academy celebrates Roald Dahl Day

Beloved children's author Roald Dahl once said: "A little magic can take you a long way."

And magic is exactly what Devonshire Primary Academy in Devonshire Road recreated when staff and pupils donned their best costumes on Friday to take part in a special day in homage to the author.

A spokesman for the school said: "The children had the opportunity to dress as a character from a Roald Dahl book and were immersed in a creative curriculum based on the life and literature of one of our most famous children's authors.

"As you can see from the photographs, a great time was had by all."
