When Spittal VC school pupils visited Carew Cheriton Control Tower Group museum, they were intrigued by the WW2 history they experienced. They all thought it was a great day out.

This led to a VE day tea party organised by staff and pupils being held at the school with parents and invited control tower guests attending. It was an excellent event enjoyed by all.

The £277 raised at the party was presented to the control tower last Thursday at a reception for the staff, pupils and parents held at the control tower.
