Wokingham

Wescott Infant School, Wokingham are celebrating their Centenary this year, with a barbecue for all staff and students who have attended the school over its hundred-year history. The PTA and governors along with headteacher Jacqui Bruce, will be holding the reunion barbecue on Saturday July 8 from 6pm to 10pm in the school grounds, as an opportunity for all those who have spent time at the school to swap reminiscences.

Cecil Culver, who at the age of 96 is one of the oldest living ex-pupils, is still resident in Wokingham and will be attending as guest of honour. Council chairman Cllr Angus Ross will also be attending.

“We have publicised the event on the school web-site, with posters around the town and also by contacting the several hundred ex-pupils who have registered with the web-site Friends Reunited,” said school governor Ian Hughes, “but we are keen to find as many as possible of our ex-pupils and teachers. We would like to make it a really memorable event and I do hope more old friends will get in contact with us.”

Ex-pupils and staff can buy tickets, for a minimum donation of £5, by visiting www.wescott-school.co.uk or by calling the school.
