Memorial Bench for Harold

30th May 2025
Today, on Harold's birthday we revealed his memorial bench. The funds for this bench came from donations from staff, pupils and parents. Thank you so much for your contribution! Our whole school gathered together along with Mrs Kerr, Lorraine, members of the Board of Governors and Hugo Duncan. Our school choir sang a wonderful hymn called 'There is a Redeemer'. Thank you to David for all the preparations you did with the choir. Lorraine gave a lovely tribute to Harold on behalf of Mrs Kerr and family. Hugo Duncan shared some fond memories he had with Harold. Harold used to play the drums for Hugo. Mrs Thompson presented Mrs Kerr and Lorraine with flowers and a book with photos and memories of Harold. Alongside Harold's bench, we have purchased a beautiful memory rose bush.
