A school played host to more than 300 pupils, parents and staff both past and present at a reunion.

Sandhills Primary School is to move into a new building early next year and people gathered from all over the world to say farewell to the old building, celebrating 65 years of education at the school.

Some remembered the earliest days in 1938 and the wartime years when the school was almost overwhelmed by evacuee children from London.

Among those present were organiser and ex-pupil Clive Birtles and headteacher Joe Johnson.

Governors' chairman Chris Hicks announced that the road to the new building will be named Terrett Avenue in honour of the first headteacher, Joe Terrett, who was at the school from 1940 to 1966.
