After 38 years of teaching, Mrs. Waddington AKA. Liz, Mum and now Grandma, is due for her long-awaited retirement!!
The days of co-ordinating fantastic school plays (and in some cases writing them), conducting assemblies, yard duty, hymn practice, recorder club, eating school dinners (or packed-lunches), putting up amazing back walls, marking books and of course making an impact on around thirty (per year) 10 year olds' lives everyday have finally come to an end!
Phew, she breathes a big sigh of relief as she looks forward to a long and happy retirement of holidays with Wad, 'doing lunch' with her friends in Kirkby Longsdale, shopping in Manchester, baby-sitting her lovely grandchildren Louie and Betty, and no doubt finding other things to get involved with that involve her 'dressing up' in fancy dress......hmmmm, like perhaps being a curator in a Museum dressing up in traditional Victorian garb, or maybe working in a fancy dress shop! Now there's an idea.
Here are a few comments from ex-pupils and friends of Mrs. Waddington...

Many thanks for all your hard work, and best wishes in your retirement!!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to my retirement blog; and to Kate who set it up. It has been a tremendous thrill to me, as a fairly "computer phobic" person, to read your comments and to hear how well you are doing. Best wishes for the future to you all. Liz Waddington
