My son goes to John Kyrle High School (JKHS) When they have a sports lesson there is no time to shower after sports as the staff don't finish the period in time to let the boys shower. I have raised it with the school and their response is- the boys aren't keen on showering!! Can this be right? My boy isn't actually all that keen on homework or going to school when the sun's out but somehow I can't see the school wearing those as good reasons for not dropping in. Is it too much to hope for that in this day and age kids get the chance of a wash before going to their next lesson? − Peter Day

Antoinette and Claire first played the piano when they were three years old, picking out tunes on the family piano. “The first thing we picked out was the theme to Listen with Mother.” Starting lessons was apparently the only time the pair were at odds about their playing. “Toni was very keen to go,” says Claire. “But at the time, Claire was shy,” adds Antoinette.

Village past brought to life in new book

A LOCAL football team that played in a premiership stadium and an orchestra that appeared in an early TV broadcast are tall claims for a small Herefordshire village – but Fownhope has proof.
