I took up my appointment as teaching head in August 1980, and moved into the school house. Term started on September 3rd. I had already met my various new colleagues. My fellow teachers were Mrs Griffin and Mrs Pidgeon; no one could have had more supportive, co-operative and able colleagues. |

Mrs Lawson, our peripatetic music teacher, did wonders with the children's singing and instrument playing in her weekly afternoon visit. Then there was Mrs Prickett, our infant helper; she showed a kindly, motherly concern for every one, and as she was an SRN our first aid problems were in expert hands. Our school secretary was Mrs Watson. I don't think I could have survived doing both teaching and administration without her efficient help on the two days per week that she came to us. Her grand sense of humour was a tonic to us all. Another essential member of staff was Jill Sibley, the school road crossing officer - ever cheerful and efficient. Sadly she died earlier this year (2001). |
