King Arthur's Celebrates the Class of 2010

The Main Hall at King Arthur's was filled to capacity with parents and former students who had come back for what for many might be their last occasion together as Mr Nigel Snook their year head remarked. They had all come to receive their certificates and celebrate what had been a very successful year for the school.

Head Teacher Ms Tamra Bradbury welcomed everyone and the Key Note address was given by Mrs Anna Groskop, the South Somerset District Councillor for Bruton and Wincanton. In her speech she congratulated everyone on their achievements and in remembering her own school days spoke of the values and skills she hoped they would never forget as a result of their time at King Arthur's.
