Newspaper article about former pupils of Badsey School attending a special birthday party at the school to mark its 150th birthday. The oldest attendees were Fred Mason, Jim Brailsford, Fred Roberts and Deric Anderson, all in their nineties; the youngest was 4-year-old Grace Kelly. Among the other former pupils was headteacher, Elizabeth Spencer, who attended Badsey School as a girl. The history of the school has recently been commemorated with the publication by The Badsey Society of Heads and Tales, A History of Badsey Schools, by Maureen Spinks, a local historian whose son, Jonathan, was once a pupil. Also mentions the school's longest-serving teacher, Lilian Bird, who came to Badsey School in 1908 and stayed for 43 years until she retired as Mrs Woodward in 1951.
