Everyone wore red, an auspicious colour in China, and the school entrance was festooned in scarlet lanterns – with a lightshow of a giant moving dragon being projected onto the exterior of the school, accompanied by Chinese music.

Deputy head Dr Ross Barrand said: “It was a fabulous display and it really lifted everyone to celebrate all together.”
