Our traffic warden Pat retired on the day of the holidays after over 30 years service to the boys in both schools. We plan to mark here retirement formally in September, but on Thursday last, the entire population of the junior school formed a guard of honour from the front door to the gates of the school and applauded her off the premises for the last time. The number of safe road crossings by pupils and their parents and minders which took place under Pat’s watchful eye must run into the high thousands. So long Pat – will miss you.
