Georgia's Bench

On Monday, we held a dedication ceremony for Georgia's bench. It was lovely welcoming her family into school and being able to celebrate the time Georgia spent at Guildford Grove and remember the wonderful pupil she was.

As part of the ceremony, Mrs Scrivener (Georgia's teacher in Year 1) spoke about her memories of Georgia and read a beautiful piece of writing that Georgia wrote during her time here. A small group of children then sang 'Somewhere over the rainbow' and Georgia's family members and friends from Year 4 tied some personalised decorations and messages to the new blossom tree. To mark the end of the event, brightly coloured balloons were released.

I would like to thank the PTA for helping the school to design a fitting tribute to Georgia and organising its installation along with our new tree. We are so pleased that we now have a wonderful bench that children and families can enjoy for years to come. We will never forget Georgia.
