CHILDREN and staff at Alderbury and West Grimstead Primary School are saying goodbye to their deputy headteacher.

Sue Wyatt retires at the end of the school year after six years as deputy head.

Mrs Wyatt was a teacher at the former West Grimstead School and remained after it combined with Alderbury School in 1993, becoming deputy a year later and the assistant headteacher in 2005.

She said: β€œIt has been a delight and a pleasure to work with parents, teachers and children all that time.”

On her retirement Sue will be studying medieval history and starting a business in genealogy.
