A GROUP of excited youngsters from the assessment and learning support centre at Hillside Primary School in Bradwell went to Market Gates to see Santa last Friday.

Organisers praised the staff of Debenhams for arranging with the man in the red suit to spend time talking at length to each child and presenting them all with not one, but two presents. A centre spokeswoman said: “In the current economic climate it is so refreshing to see such goodwill.”
