School in from 1970's-1990's

The Parent Teacher Association started (now called the "Friends")

Mr Brian Jolly took over as Headmaster in 1980 and him and his wfie moved into the school house which had been unoccupied for sometime; having to cut back 5-6 feet of grass in the garden.

Mrs Tina Jolly, the headmaster’s wife, set up the first school Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for the school – which we now call “The Friends”.  The fundraising initially was to get each child a commemorative coin for Charles and Diana’s wedding.  This started the legendary ‘strawberry teas’ which cost a pound a ticket, with everyone welcome to attend. 

The above photograph is of the whole school in 1988.
