Sir, On my retirement from Tavernspite School, I have been overwhelmed by the generosity of thoughts, words, cards and presents from the parents, pupils and staff and community. It was a very happy and successful 21 years at the school, made so by the excellent pupils, parents and staff. It has been made such a pleasurable job thanks to the support of the community and the whole-hearted support of my wife and five children. Thank you all once again.

Brian Jones, Ludchurch.
