OLDHAMS Community Primary School closes its doors on Friday, July 16, one year short of its 50th anniversary and after a long, hard and passionate battle won and then lost.
At the very least there needs to be a public thank you to all staff, past and present, teaching and non-teaching, whose skill, dedication and compassion has had an impact on so many young lives; to the parents who over the years have supported the school; to the many volunteers who have given their time freely over the years; and to the children for filling the school with their hopes and laughter.
Wherever you all move on to, I trust that the spirit of Oldhams will go with you - I know that the memories of the many happy times will stay with me, my children, and other family members for years to come. Thank you to everybody.
