Lovely Alice has been involved in the campaign to save her school.
Village schools are dear to our hearts as several were closed in our part of Surrey during the 1980s causing all sorts of distress to parents and stupidly long journies to school for very young children. Alice's mother and her twin sister were two of the three first pupils at the re-opened village school which had been closed by the council but was run by an enthusiastic group of parents and concerned villagers. Fortunately, Alice's school has been given a stay of execution - for now. Alice will be moving on in September anyway but her ties with the village of Buildwas where she has attended the school for the last 6 years will be constant and she cares for the younger brothers and sisters of her friends who will continue the campaign to keep the small school - and the heart of the village - alive.
