On Friday, July 18, our school, Westhoughton County Primary School, will close its doors for the last time.

Before the last bell rings and the corridors are silent, we would like to celebrate its history.

We invite former pupils, parents, carers, grandparents, friends and teachers to join us for a celebration on Monday, July 14, from 2pm to 6pm.

We are asking for memorabilia, artefacts and old photographs of classes or the school buildings which we can display on that day.

Please contact the school as soon as possible to arrange this if you can help.

If you would like to write down memories of your time at the school, we would appreciate all contributions, and anything loaned will be returned in the same condition that it is received.

Please come along and support us on the day, and renew old acquaintances. If you require any further information please ring the school on 01942 812050.

Liz Chesney, Secretary, Westhoughton Primary School
