Phil the Pheasant
Phil the pheasant has been a visitor to our school since November 2017. He seems to enjoy looking and pecking at his reflection in the windows on the school roof and has been spotted while the children are working in class and also when eating in the hall, even pecking on the windows during morning assemblies.
He has also been seen on the field and playgrounds and is quite happy to be strutting around while the children are at play.
