Depp made the trip after a nine-year-old pupil wrote to the star asking for help staging a 'mutiny' against the teachers while he was filming the fourth installment of the 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' franchise nearby.
The school was told just 10 minutes before that Depp would be arriving and two blacked out cars swept through the school gates.
An onlooker said she heard the most "incredible screams of joy" as the actor entered the school.
Beatrice Delap who had written to the star's alter-ego asking for help, was then asked by the star to make herself known from the assembled pupils once he arrived, and gave her a cuddle.
In 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides', Depp stars alongside Penelope Cruz who plays an old flame of the crazy ship captain who heads of on a journey to find the fountain of youth.
