Hundreds of balloons were released from Highwood Primary School in Bushey on Friday, to mark the retirement of the school’s headteacher.
Excited staff and students gathered together at the school in Mead Way for the release, which also signified the end of term.
Poula Budge, headteacher, said: "It was lovely to have the balloon release, there were more than 300 balloons which isn’t bad going seeing as we have 460 on our role call.
"All of them were tagged and named so it will be great for the students to find out which one travels the furthest.
"I’m retiring after seven years at the school. It’s been an amazing time and I’m sad to go. But I’ve seen the new build through and it’s time to hand over to someone else, someone younger."
