• Farewell Mrs Fawcett

  Sun 05 Nov 2023

  On Friday 27th October, we had a special assembly to celebrate Mrs Fawcett's 46 years as secretary in our school. There were plenty of happy memories shared and many happy tears shed too. The School Council then presented Mrs Fawcett with her gifts from governors, staff and pupils. Also, she got a book with pictures of her drawn by every child in the school. 

   

  We wish Mrs Fawcett a wonderful retirement and look forward to her calling in regularly for a 'wee cuppa!'
