A group of 6 ex-pupils who left in 1959 returned on 26th April 2024. Most of the group had not met each other in those 65 years, so it was quite some reunion! The school gave us a fabulous welcome and we were thrilled to walk again into our former classrooms, to see where the Headteacher had his office back in our day, to look at the corridor where the compulsory school milk was delivered and to stare at the ceiling that leads to the tower where the bell tolled to summon us to school. We visited several classrooms and answered questions about the differences between now and then.
