Former headteachers head to Loxley for school’s 150th anniversary
A TRIO of headteachers celebrated 150 years of Loxley Community Primary School as the village marked the anniversary at a special event on Friday (14th June).
Current headteacher Claire Woolley joined with Janet Clough (2008-2013) and Ted Burch (2008-2016) to cut an anniversary.
The school, which was moved brick-by-brick to its current site, opposite the Fox pub in Loxley, in 1874 originally cost £170.
Last week, the anniversary was marked with an afternoon of community fun, which included stalls, games, dancing and singing, food and drink as well as the chance to tour the school.
A new artwork, featuring thumb prints of the people who attended the event, is also being created to commemorate the occasion. It will be turned into an installation by artist Kate White.
