Today we have said a sad goodbye to our wonderful Scott Bennett. After 9 years at Longdon Hall, he is off on a new adventure!
Scott has been a massive part of LHS and we are all going to miss him greatly. But today he has spent the day doing what he loves - being with the pupils
So thankful to have met with @Iamzulubaz and for our pupils to have had the opportunity to learn from his work
Bit of what I have been up to I hope that our work in the community will make a change #knivesdownglovesup
