ANDOVER CE Primary School bid a sad farewell to the chairman of its Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) this week.

The long-standing member, Judith Appleby, has supported the school for the last eight years and has helped the school raise thousands of pounds through many different fundraising events.

A spokeswoman for the school said: “We are very sad to see Judith leave but she possibly deserves a well-earned rest now.

“Perhaps she will now be able to enjoy some of our school events without having to organise them.

I’d like the whole of the school community join me in thanking her for all her efforts and support.”
