From ‘head’ to queen
Queen ps1151-15 Queen For the Day Mrs Bennison Mrs Bennison -retiring
Christine Bennison has been made ‘queen for a day’ by pupils of Middleton on the Wolds Primary School to celebrate her retirement after ten years as headteacher at the school.
The school hall, adorned with a ‘Happy Retirement’ banner made by pupils, played host to a surprise assembly during which Mrs Bennison was provided with a crown and throne fit for a queen and presented with books containing pictures of the beloved lady drawn by students and sentences marking her time at the school.
Staff and pupils enjoyed refreshments and Christine was presented with gifts before spending the afternoon playing board games.
Sheranne Low, a teacher at Middleton school said: “It was a lovely day, Mrs Bennison thoroughly enjoyed it and it managed to stay a surprise - trying to hide the banner was difficult but the children managed it.”
Christine has also retired from the position of headteacher at Beswick and Watton School which is in federation with Middleton.
