Princethorpe College was delighted to welcome two much-loved and well-respected former members of staff into school on Wednesday 1 February. Margaret-Louise O’Keeffe, former Deputy Head Pastoral, and Sue Francis, former Director of Music, visited Princethorpe to work with College Archivist, Catherine Lewis.
The ladies spent an enjoyable morning working through archive material putting names to faces, bringing characters to life and sharing stories never heard before. It was fascinating to pick their excellent memories from their many years at Princethorpe and to record such rich history in the archives.
Catherine is working hard to extend our knowledge and is looking forward to welcoming more former members of staff into school to support her work.
