Easter goody bags have been given to staff at Marpool Primary School as a thank you from grateful parents.

During lockdown, teachers from the school hand delivered 300 superhero teddy bears to all the children who were home schooling.

In response, the parents decided to put together gift bags for the teachers filled with items donated by mums, dads and grandparents as well Exmouth businesses.

A total of 100 bags, which also included poems written by the parents, were delivered to the school, to the surprise of staff.
