Pupils and parents will this weekend bid farewell to the long-standing headteacher of Chislehurst Primary School John MacDermott.
Mr McDermott who retires at the end of this term has been at the helm of the school for 23 years.
He has received praise for educational initiatives which led to the school's outstanding academic record. After being taken ill last year Mr McDermott has been overwhelmed by the widespread support he has received.
A farewell party has been arranged for July 15 (Sunday) between 2pm and 4pm at the school. Ex-pupils, pupils, parents and friends will have chance to wish him a well-deserved retirement.
