Bransgore Primary School pupils take new head teacher Roy Sewell on tour of village

BRANSGORE Primary School pupils took their new head teacher on a whistlestop tour of the village to help him find his way around.

Roy Sewell said he received a “very warm welcome” from the youngsters after joining the school in January.

Year 6 pupils took Mr Sewell around the “important landmarks” of the village, including St Mary’s Church, Bransgore Community Church, the shops at Oak Tree Parade, recreation ground, cricket pavilion and war memorial.

“I am thoroughly enjoying my time as the new head teacher of Bransgore Primary School and feel incredibly privileged to be part of such a warm and welcoming community,” Mr Sewell said.

“Bransgore is a truly special place, and our school sits at its heart as a loving and nurturing environment where children flourish.

“It has been wonderful to see the strong connections between the school and the sense of pride that our children have in their surroundings.

“I look forward to working alongside staff, parents, and the wider Bransgore community to ensure our children continue to grow in a nurturing and inspiring environment.”

Mr Sewell was previously head at St Mary’s Church of England First School and Nursery in Southampton.

He replaces Paul Brown who left in Easter last year due to personal reasons after 11 years in the role.
