Robin recently retired from his role as a school governor after over 20 years - during which he lent his tremendous knowledge of the building trade and generously shared his time, not least for the development of two new Reception classrooms opened in September 2014. ‘Without Robin this project would never have got off the ground’, says Head teacher Ian Moore.
He officially opened the new building in October 2015, unveiling a plaque in his honour before children, staff and visitors. He was then guest of honour at a tea which featured cakes festooned with robin motifs, art-work, models and memories of the building from the Reception and Year 1 children; and a video of the modular building being delivered to the site.
Lastly, Robin and CEO of Eynsham Partnership Academy Andy Hamilton (far left) planted a cherry tree in the recently-redeveloped grounds at the front of the school. Read more about Robin
