"Celebrating 50 years is a testament to the strong community spirit and the unwavering support of our students, families and staff," said Sarah Laundy, Headteacher of Southcott Lower School. "Our school's success is built on the dedication and collaboration of everyone in our community. We’re looking forward to bringing pupils and their families past and present, together to celebrate, and hopefully some sunshine!”
