I attended a meeting of St. John’s school governors this evening. I’ve been a governor there since 2003, and am currently vice-chair and chair of Finance. I also have a grandson who is at the school, and a second grandson who will start at the nursery this term.

We had big excitement this weekend when the new childrens’ centre building was lifted on to the school site by a giant crane! It’s a prefabricated building, which will be brick-clad to tone in with its surroundings. The new centre will be opening in April, and will offer a wide range of services and activities for children 0-5, their parents and families.
