Woodham Academy is calling all former students and former colleagues of Joan Robson and Ian Bickerdike to get in touch.

Both teachers are set to retire at the end of the academic year and the school would like to create something special for them to take away to remember their time at Woodham Academy.

Gemma Porter, Media & Marketing Officer, said: Mrs Robson has been with the school for 33 years and Mr Bickerdike for 35 years – that is no mean feat.

Their dedication and commitment to Woodham Academy is outstanding and we would love to demonstrate our appreciation by producing a book of memories and quotes from all former colleagues and students, a bit of a ‘This is Your Life’ type of thing for them to look back on.

Please contact us to share your memories, good, bad and funny, all welcome.

For those that would like to contribute to the surprise for both teachers please email g.porter@woodham.org.uk
