Mr Scott told the Gazette: “It hardly seems like 18 years since the Gazette photographer came in to take my photo on arrival in the school. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with such a wonderful group of staff, parents and children. As I said at the summer assembly there is such a wonderful spirit in the school.”

The Gazette echoes the children cries of ‘have a great retirement.’
