And the library was named after departing PTFA vice chair Mrs Joanne White to recognise her outstanding contribution to the school over the last few years.

Mrs White commented: “I feel incredibly honoured to have had the library named after me. It was a total and unexpected surprise on the day.

“I have enjoyed and feel proud of being part of the successful PTFA over the last ten years.

“St Mary’s School PTFA, led by Jason Taylor, all do an amazing job giving up their free time and energy to make a difference for the children.”
