In assembly today, the children surprised Mrs Driver by stopping her talk about school rules. It was amusing to see Mrs Driver’s consternation at being interrupted during her important talk. Year 5 and 6 children stood up and, one by one, started counting to 40.
Once they got to about 30, we suspect Mrs Driver had started to guess what all the fuss was about. Wednesday 21st September 1982 was her first day at William Ransom School. It was only to cover a two week position but she was clearly so good that the Headteacher at the time, Mr Mulot, couldn’t let her go! 40 years later and Mrs Driver is still here ‘driving’ the school forward.
After school, the staff celebrated with a huge, cream cake – a well earned treat, we felt!
