ESCC Highways – Roadworks A2100 Mountfield

At last, I have formal confirmation from ESCC Highways about the impending roadworks – A2100 London Road, Mountfield.

A beautiful painting of All Saints Church

This is a beautiful painting of All Saints Church by Barbara Valentine – particularly poignant in this 900th anniversary year.  So many events have had to be postponed until next year, but this will give us all some much needed hope for better times.

Help with home schooling

Cora Courtney Bennett is a year 11 student at Claverham and is offering to help out with home schooling.

Hello, my name is Cora and I’m a Year 11 student at Claverham.  At school I used to volunteer in a peer reading scheme helping pupils struggling with their literacy skills, and I also helped others with Maths work.   I know that, in the current situation, home schooling is very difficult for many parents and children, I would love to offer my time to assist any students with their work, over zoom calls.  If you are interested and want to find out more, please initially contact my mum via her email: hannah.courtneybennett@btinternet.com
