Sim was treated to a special cake and singing from The School choirOne student said Sim was a great companion to spend time with if you were feeling lonely.
Deputy head teacher Jess Doyle described the ageing parrot as having become a "really big part of The School " during her 30 years in education.
She Said : "When we have new children arrive at The School who may not speak English, we take them to go see him and he makes them feel very welcome. "
She added that there must be "thousands of people" across The Island with fond memories of Sim.
