We held our 150th school celebration this Friday, the 9th of March 2012. On the Friday morning we held a church service in St Michael and All Angels Church led by the Bishop of Buckingham the Rt Revd Dr Alan Wilson and attended by local dignitaries, ex-staff, current staff and children.
Dr Phillip Lee MP for Bracknell, formally opened the new school reflection garden area. This was followed by a short dedication and unveiling of the school's 150th sundial by the Bishop. The sundial was designed by the children who also built the 4 mosaics.
The Mayor of Sandhurst, Mr Dale Birch, then planted a camellia in the reflection garden. This was followed by tea and cake for all allowing the dignitaries and ex-staff to mingle with the children in the school museum which depicted life since the school was formed, decade by decade.
In the afternoon, a cream tea was held for ex-staff and pupils to allow time to meet old acquaintances and reminisce. The day was rounded off by a hog roast and Edgbarrow Swing Band entertainment in the evening, attended by parents and children, followed by a firework display on the school sports field, watched by some 550 people.
