It has been a week of fond farewells to Mrs Wilderspin who retires after twelve long, valuable years of service at The Grange, nine of which saw her doing sterling work as Deputy Head. At the Lighting of the Grange Christmas Tree the parents handed over their gifts and expressed their thanks for all that she has done. Mrs Wilderspin asked us to pass on her thanks to parents for their gifts. ‘I would like to say how much I appreciate the thoughtful gifts that you presented me with last Thursday. Everyone knows how much I love my garden and so thank you for the gardening related gifts and it was a super idea to give us National Trust membership and theatre tokens that Chris and I can enjoy together. Thank you for your constant support during my years at The Grange. Best wishes, Sue Wilderspin.’ The boys said their goodbyes this morning and Mrs Wilderspin was delighted to hear the choir singing especially for her.
